    “Philippians Place’s Vision is to “Disciple, Equip, and House men reentering society and facing homelessness". The purpose of this event is to share with our community how Philippians Place is changing the lives of men returning from incarceration and reducing recidivism in Onslow County. Funds raised from this event will help us attain more housing for our Men's Reentry Transitional Housing Program”

    Stars & Strides 5K – Celebrate America’s 250th!

    Lace up your running shoes, pull on those American flag socks, and join the party as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday in style! The Stars & Strides 5K kicks off Sunday, June 7, 2026, with an early-evening run through the heart of downtown Jacksonville. You’ll start and finish on the beautifully revitalized New Bridge Street, surrounded by the energy of family and friends and American spirit.

    This isn’t your typical 5K—cross the finish line and trade in that post-race banana for a slice of birthday cake! Stay for the music, cheer on your fellow runners, and soak in the patriotic vibes as we come together to celebrate health, happiness, and America’s milestone birthday.

    Whether you’re racing for a personal best, walking, jogging with friends, or bringing the whole family for a fun evening out, the Stars & Strides 5K is the perfect way to honor our nation’s big 250.
