Building Bridges 5k

Join us for the Building Bridges 5k, a charity event aimed at supporting troubled and disadvantaged youth. Our mission is to intervene and redirect the lives of these young individuals through innovative programming that offers discipline, structure, and opportunity in a compassionate and supportive environment.

This year, we are excited to celebrate the "International Day of Peace" or World Peace Day on September 21st. By participating in the 5k, you will not only support a great cause but also contribute to spreading the message of peace and unity.

The event will take place at Rip Rap Roadhouse in Dayton, OH. The course is a 3.1-mile run/walk, and the registration fee is $25.00. Shirts are guaranteed for those who register by September 5th.

In addition to the individual race, we are introducing a team competition this year. Teams of 7 will compete against each other, with the top five times on each team being added together. The team with the lowest combined time will be the winner. The team entry fee is $150 and requires mail-in entry.

The race day schedule is as follows: Check-in begins at 5:00 PM, followed by the Kids Fun Run at 5:45 PM. The 5k Run/Walk will start at 6:00 PM.

Kids Fun Run participants will be awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. For the 5k, awards will be given to the overall top male and top female participants. Additionally, prizes will be awarded to the top male and female in each age group: 18 & Under, 19–30, 31-45, 46–60, and 61 & Older.

After the race, join us at Rip Rap Roadhouse for a post-race celebration. Your first drink is on the house, and light snacks will be provided.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of troubled youth while enjoying a fun and active event. Register now for the Building Bridges 5k and help us build a brighter future for our community.
