Hope Fest 5K Walk/Run & Kids Fun Run

Get ready to run, walk and have a blast at the 1st Annual HOPE FEST 5K Walk/Run & Kid's Fun Run! Set for October 26th, 2025, rain or shine, this event is not just about setting personal records but also about giving back, with proceeds going to local charitable causes in Southern Illinois. Join us at Community of Faith Church in Marion, IL, where the event kicks off at 1:00 PM for runners and 1:01 PM for walkers. Bring the little ones for the half-mile Kid's Fun Run starting at 1:15 PM. With a very flat and fast course, the day promises great fun and an opportunity to win awards across various age categories. Plus, your registration includes a generous perk – free entry to the Hope Fest Music Festival for you and your household! Come make memories and support a noble cause.
