Join us for fifth annual 5K-9 & Family Fun Run! Following the De Soto Days festival, this family and fur-friendly event is being presented by the local rescue Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary. Come out to see some adorable adoptable dogs, get some fun exercise, and help make a difference in the lives of homeless pups in need!

Each human registrant will receive a bib with official timing and post-race snacks. There will be snacks and water for the doggos too! Both the 5K Race and Family Fun Run will begin at 8 am. More details regarding the race will be sent via email the week of the race. Your pup is allowed to join you for the race at no additional charge. We do ask all dogs be dog and people friendly and up to date on all vaccinations.

Our virtual participants are invited to join from anywhere in the world, any day, and any distance! Please support the cause and share your photos of your run so we can all celebrate together!

    The reason for this race: Miles Jacobsen is 10 years old and currently in 4th grade. His family moved to KC in 2021 when his dad was hired as the Lead Teaching Pastor at Heartland Community Church off Strang Line Rd in Olathe.

    Miles Jacobsen is one of the many kids in Kansas City battling a brain tumor. Days after his 9th birthday in March 2024, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. After a long year of chemotherapy, Miles is now awaiting the development of more targeted therapy that will help him fight the growth of this tumor. Despite these challenges, Miles is a joyful and active kid whose positive outlook has inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of people since his diagnosis. His heart beats strong for people of all ages who are enduring their own cancer journeys, and he’s always looking to lift other people’s spirits. He has taken to running over the last year as a way to raise funds and awareness for children’s brain tumors. As the namesake for the Miles for Miles Foundation, he is a young spokesperson raising awareness and funds for his own future, and the future of many kids who are fighting their own brain cancer battles.

    Because brain tumor research is the least funded cancer research in the country, every donation matters! That’s why the proceeds from this race will be donated to The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation to support their work helping families affected by pediatric brain tumors, and to fund cutting edge medical research.

    Proceeds of this race will be donated to The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation on behalf of the Miles for Miles Foundation.

    We will offer a flat, fast 1 mile road race on a certified course at 7am followed by a flat, fast 5K road race at 7:30am. Those who want to participate in both races can sign up for the Miles Challenge.
