The Sarah Strong 5K and the 1 Mile Kids Fun Run take place on Saturday, September 25, 2027, in downtown Elkhart at Bicentennial Park, 100 N. Elkhart Ave. The event includes a community 5K run or walk and a separate one mile children’s fun run. Packet pickup is scheduled for the day before the event at a location and time to be determined, and also at the race location on race day.
Distances:
- 5K Run/Walk - 3.1 miles
- Kids 1 Mile Fun Run - 1 mile
The 5K is open to runners and walkers, and strollers are permitted on the course. Dogs are not allowed on the course. Awards and recognitions are planned: medals for the top three finishers in each age division and awards for the top three overall male and female finishers in the 5K, and all participants in the kids run will receive an award. Race day parking will not be available in the Bicentennial Park lot at the start and finish; alternate parking is available across the street at Hacienda and at Beacon Health & Fitness.
All proceeds benefit Passionately Purple, a foundation that assists local families whose loved ones are battling cancer and supports related community programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
