About Better Together 5K

The Better Together 5k Run/Walk is part of a community event designed to support the Berea Food Bank and to remind all of us that we are indeed Better Together.

Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the Berea City Park, Pirate Parkway, Berea, KY 40403

This 4th Annual event – formerly known as the Hunger Hurts Food or Fund Drive is celebrating its 33th anniversary. That's 33 years of Bereans taking care of each other and 33 years of community support for people and families in need of a little help

Times continue to be challenging for many.

Thank goodness we can point to the power of community support; thank goodness we are Better Together.
