Event Overview
The Roberds Run 4 Your Life 5k & Walk to Remember is a community fundraiser held in Rogers, Arkansas. The event supports the local nonprofit P.E.A.R.L. and the Ben Roberds Scholarship Fund, which provides educational opportunities for graduates of the Benton County Specialty Court pursuing college or vocational school. The 5k race takes place on a flat course along the Blossom Way Trail.
Participants can choose from several event categories:
- 3.1 Miles (5k) run
- 1 Mile Walk to Remember
- 3.1 Miles Virtual Walk / Run
The 5k participants receive a finisher medal, and awards are presented to the top three finishers. The Walk to Remember serves as a tribute to those lost to addiction. Participants are encouraged to bring a photo of their family member to the race. The event also features a community fair held during the morning hours.
A virtual option allows participants to complete a 3.1 Miles distance anytime between October 1 and October 31. Local virtual participants can collect their race materials from the PEARL Peer Recovery Center, while non-local runners may have items mailed to them. All 5k registrants, including virtual ones, receive the event medal. The event proceeds rain or shine, though severe weather conditions may cause the physical race to transition to a virtual format.
