The Mission:
Run with Purpose – Join Travis for a Day of 5Ks Supporting Local Veterans
On Saturday, April 18th, come out to Walkers Park in Elkhart, IN and be part of an inspiring challenge led by Travis, who will be running 10 consecutive 5Ks—one every hour, starting at 6:00 a.m. and continuing through 3:00 p.m.
This event is more than just a run. Travis is raising funds for The Faith Mission of Elkhart, a local homeless shelter that provides short-term respite and vital support to veterans in our community.
🏃♂️ Whether you want to run one leg, two legs, or all ten, you're welcome to join Travis on the course. 💙 Every step helps raise awareness and support for those who’ve served. Also brings awareness to health and fitness which is his passion as well.
This is also a 2026 Fleet Feet Race Series Event! Race Series participants will receive a 10% discount at checkout.
Come run, cheer, and make a difference.

Team 5k:
Want to run as a team? We've got you covered. Gather your crew—teams of 2 to 6 runners—and join our timed endurance event.
Each team will receive a shared bib/transponder, and the challenge remains: complete each 5K in under one hour, starting at the top of every hour. The winning team will be determined by the time of their final 5K. 5K's begin @ 6:00 a.m. Then every hour, on the hour, until 3:00 p.m.
🏃♂️ Teams may rotate runners every lap (0.52 miles) or assign full 5Ks to individual members. 🚨 For fairness, the 10th and final run must be completed by a team member who has already run at least once during the day—no last-minute “ringer” substitutions allowed.
🏅 All finishers will receive medals. 🏆 Awards will be given to the top 3 teams.
