Stride to Serve 5k-ish and volunteering event

Stride to Serve is a simple idea: move your body, meet good people, and leave a place better than you found it.

We’ll start with a session at Feed My Starving Children, then have a 35-minute run or walk and then celebrate at Hackamore Brewing.

No special skills required—just show up ready to move and help out.

What We’ll Do

1. Meet & Quick Welcome: Brief warm-up and introduction to the day’s plan. There might be dancing for those who are interested!

2. Serve Together: We’ll have a session at Feed My Starving Children to pack food for kids in need.

3. 5k-ish Run or Walk: Run, jog, or walk at your own pace on a half mile-ish out and back course - three trips is a 5k but go as far as you want, as fast as you want, you've got 35 minutes. 5k is nice but no pace or distance is wrong! The out and back means you'll spend time with other participants no matter what pace you choose.

4. Wrap-Up & Connect: A few minutes to relax, meet people, play some games and celebrate a job well done. Join us at Hackamore Brewing for post-event celebration!

Who Should Come?

* Runners and walkers of all levels

Why Stride to Serve With Us?

We believe the best community events combine three things:

🏃 **Movement** – Exercise that feels good

🤝 **Connection** – Meeting people who care about the community

🌱 **Service** – Doing something tangible that improves a shared place

Even small acts—like clearing branches from trails—can make parks safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
