Smile Like Jesse 5k Run/Walk
The Smile Like Jesse 5k Run/Walk is an annual community event held in Gallup, New Mexico. Established in 2017, the event serves to support various community service initiatives. The race offers a single distance for participants:
- 3.1 Miles
The event supports four specific pillars of community service. These include providing financial resources and support for students pursuing education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Additionally, the organization coordinates an annual toy drive in partnership with local facilities to provide gifts for children during the holiday season.
Other initiatives fueled by the event include the distribution of essential winter clothing and materials to help children during cold weather months. Environmental efforts are also a component of the mission, with local trash pick-up initiatives organized to maintain the cleanliness of the McGaffey area.
Participants have the option to join the physical event in Gallup or take part in a virtual run. Virtual participants are required to submit their completion times by the morning of the event date. Paper registration is available as an alternative to digital sign-up. The event takes place at Susan Ave and welcomes both runners and walkers to complete the course.
