OLA Run to Church 5K and Fun Run : Start 2 Finish
The event is the 4th Annual Run to Church at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Brookhaven on August 29, 2026. It is organized to benefit OLA’s St. Vincent de Paul Society, a Christian outreach ministry that provides financial assistance to neighbors in need. The occasion also marks the 75th Anniversary of the church.
Two race options are offered:
- 5K
- Fun Run
Racers and walkers of all ages are welcome and the event is described as family-friendly. Strollers may be pushed on the course; dogs are not permitted. An awards ceremony follows the races. Additional on-site activities include a kids’ area, refreshments, and giveaways from sponsors.
A registration detail specifies that signing up by August 17 guarantees a t-shirt size; after that date shirts are available while supplies last. All proceeds from the event are designated for the St. Vincent de Paul Society to support its financial assistance work.
The description focuses on the community and charitable aspects, the anniversary celebration, the available race distances, and the post-race amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
