Phil Phest 5k

Phil Phest 5k

Benefiting Running for Dreams. Through an incredible journey from surgery and chemotherapy to endurance training and ultramarathons, Phil found a lifestyle change and a new purpose. After defeating cancer two times and realizing how blessed his family was, he decided there weren’t enough resources to help kids who have lost a parent to cancer. Running for Dreams is here to change that.

The 4th Annual Phil Phest 5k will take place on March 28, 2026. All proceeds from the race go to the Running For Dreams Foundation. Your registration includes a chip-timed race, numbered bib, custom unisex event t-shirt, and a finisher medal. (T-Shirt is NOT guaranteed for Race Day Registration)
