Mark your calendars and lace up your running shoes for the 11th Annual Sam’s Fans 5K at Wolfe Park! This community-centered event is more than just a race—it’s a day filled with fun, purpose, and joy for participants of all ages. Proceeds from the event support Sam’s Fans, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing Music and Art Therapy Programs for seriously ill children and their families.
Starting at 9:00 AM, the event includes a 5K race, a 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, and a Kids 1-Mile Run as part of the RunColumbus kids series, making it the perfect outing for the entire family.
Whether you’re a competitive runner, a casual walker, or simply there to support the cause, your participation helps us bring joy, healing, and creativity to children in need through music and art. Come out, make memories, and be a part of something truly meaningful!
Don’t miss this chance to have fun, give back, and make a difference. We can’t wait to see you there!
