The St. Anthony of Padua 5K Run/Walk for Vocations is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Villago Park in Casa Grande, Arizona. The event is organized to support vocations efforts and the St. Anthony of Padua Church Restoration Fund.
The event includes a timed 5K run/walk category with official chip timing, a support walk in an untimed format, and a free youth category for children under ten who must participate with a parent or guardian. The timed category includes an event T-shirt and a finisher medal. The support walk includes an event T-shirt but does not include a finisher medal or chip timing. The free youth category does not include T-shirts, medals, or chip timing and requires registration.
Proceeds from the event will support construction and restoration efforts following the arson fire on October 18, 2024, which destroyed the parish church building. The event is presented as a community occasion tied to prayer and vocations, with options for competitive timing as well as untimed participation.
Registration fees for the listed categories are stated in the event information: a fee applies to the timed and support walk categories, while the youth category is free. The event materials note the distributions of shirts, medals, and timing across categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
