Join us for the 6th Annual Live Brave 5K and 1 Mile Run — a high-energy community event benefiting youth eating disorder prevention and recovery programs.

Set in beautiful Woodbury, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages and abilities. Whether you're racing for a personal best or walking alongside friends, you’ll experience the excitement, encouragement, and purpose that make Live Brave so special.

After you cross the finish line, stick around for:

  • Finish line food and refreshments

  • Sponsor booths and demonstrations

  • Music and entertainment from DJ Ray Mills

  • Awards and prizes

  • Kids 12 and under run FREE in the 1 Mile event — so gather the whole family for a morning of movement, connection, and fun!

Our Mission

Live Brave exists to bring our community together in support of youth mental health, with a specific focus on eating disorder prevention and recovery.

In 2026, we are proud to partner exclusively with the WithAll Organization, a nonprofit dedicated to providing critical education, prevention resources, and recovery support to individuals and families affected by eating disorders. We have been donating to WithAll since the race's inception in 2021.

Participants register and donate via the Live Brave Fund, part of the Woodbury Community Foundation. After covering the costs of producing the event, net proceeds are distributed to the WithAll Organization.

When you register, you’re not just signing up for a race — you’re helping create a stronger, more supported future for young people in our community.

Let’s move with purpose. Let’s Live Brave.
