Race for Grace PAIL Remembrance 5K Run/Walk
The 11th annual Race for Grace Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Run/Walk takes place from September 30 to October 3, 2026, at Sufficient Grace Ministries Headquarters, 140 W Maple St., Deshler, Ohio. The event includes in-person and virtual participation options and combines running, walking, and a remembrance ceremony.
Distances offered:
- 5K in-person and virtual options
- One mile remembrance walk with free and paid shirt options
Participants may donate to sponsor a special remembrance sign to line the remembrance mile. Signs must be purchased each year, should remain in their designated spot during the event, and can be picked up after the remembrance ceremony. Registrants can list a child’s name to be read at the ceremony; submitted names may be included in the printed ceremony program, on the back of race t-shirts, and on the name remembrance sign. T-shirts are guaranteed only for registrants who register by September 11, 2026.
The timed 5K includes awards for top overall finishers and age group winners, and the kids fun run offers awards and participant ribbons. Fundraising teams and donor awards are part of the event. All proceeds support Sufficient Grace Ministries and its perinatal loss support and resources for bereaved families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
