Event Description
Come join us on this fun-filled 5K Run/Walk day at the Lake Forest Sports Park. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference in our community. Lace up your sneakers and get ready to run or walk for this great cause. Together we can help to get the unhoused off the streets, and help them with resources dealing with day to day life. This fundraising event sponsored by A Touch of Love Works provides services to guide the unhoused a path to housing, update their identification status, and in many cases reconnect them with their family. Proceeds from this 5K Run/Walk will help our outreach and better allow us to be committed to being a bridge to a roof over every head.
Bring your family, friends, or small group and run (or walk) along this beautiful course. Strollers are welcome and dogs are allowed.
