  The Mission and Vision of Awaken Outreach

  Our mission Our primary mission is to build relationships with our community, be kind, speak life, and show God’s amazing love to everyone who comes to us. Our secondary mission is to meet the physical needs of anyone who comes with dignity and respect. We are a place they can come to that is safe and offers a sense of community. Many of those served find themselves in the situation of having to decide between paying rent or putting food on the table for their family. Our goal is to end this.

  Our Vision is for our city to be led to Christ, the people filled with kindness, the poor to be fed, the unsheltered to be housed, the lonely to have community, and the sick to get treatment. We look to see the local churches, nonprofits, and government working together with the understanding that our community is our mission field. We were created,

  trained, and equipped by God to serve this mission field at this moment in history.

  Distance: 7 km from North Port

  Sat, Oct 31, 2026 at 8:00 AM

  Get ready to lace up and bring spirit to the starting line of the Runaway Pumpkin 5K & Family Fest—a vibrant mix of community connection, fun costumes, and meaningful impact. Benefitting the Child Protection Center (CPC), this event takes place at CPC’s Campus of Healing in North Port and supports the vital mission of protecting children and strengthening families.

  Join us for the race, the family festival, or both! Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a brisk walker, have a little one who wants to join the children's dash, or are coming for the Family Fest, this event welcomes everyone and encourages community fun.

  At 9 a.m., the Family Fest kicks off with food trucks, trick-or-treating, pumpkin painting, a bounce house, a puppy pit with PAWS therapy dogs, a kids' costume contest, community partners and vendors, and tons of kid-centric fun! It’s a celebratory circle of community, compassion, and athletic spirit. The Family Fest is open to all with free admission. You do not need to participate in the Runaway Pumpkin 5K or the kids' Mini Monster Dash earlier in the morning to gain entry- though we do encourage all runners to join in the festivities and refuel once they cross the finish line!

  Kids’ costume contest:

  • 0 to 2yrs: 11AM

  • 3 to 5yrs: 11:15 AM

  • 6 to 8yrs: 11:30 AM

  • 9 to 12yrs: 11:45 AM

  Proceeds from the race and festivities help the CPC deliver trauma-informed care, forensic services, and child-safe advocacy for families in Sarasota County. We’re also welcoming donations of non-perishable food items at the event, which will be distributed to local families facing food insecurity this upcoming holiday season.

  Whether you’re racing the pumpkins, chasing a personal best, or simply gathering with friends and family for a meaningful morning, join us and let your stride contribute to support, healing, and joy. See you at the finish line! 🎃

  COSTUME GUIDELINES: For both the 5K and the Family Fest, participants are welcome to wear costumes if they choose. All costumes must be child friendly. Weapon props and face coverings will not be permitted- children participating in the costume contest may wear face coverings during their age group’s contest only. We will not permit clothing with objectionable material (including obscene or violent themes, graphics, or language), excessively torn clothing, or clothing that exposes excessive portions of skin that may be viewed as inappropriate in a child-friendly environment.
