Our annual 5K/10K Run or Walk to Support Higher-Ed in Uganda
We'll be returning to Family Worship Center for the start and finish of this year's 5K/10K.
Our event will take place on August 22nd from 8–11am.
Route: The course follows the Highland Canal, beginning at Clarkson Street and heading north to Orchard. This is a wide crushed gravel trail with both sun exposed and shaded areas.
Why We Run or Walk: One of the ways True Impact and our partners in Uganda are committed to helping our students become independent adults is by offering access to the best education possible. Your participation helps eliminate generational poverty.
ALL proceeds from this event support our students enrolled in upper Secondary, Vocational, University levels of education through Susies Higher Ed Fund: As our students pursue these programs, costs rise. This fund help offset tuition, supplies, and other educational expenses.
The Wildcat Mountain Trail Races showcase some of the most scenic terrain in the HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area, giving runners a true taste of the rolling hills, open views, and natural beauty surrounding Wildcat Mountain. Each fall, participants take on two distances—a 10-mile and a 10K—designed to highlight the area’s unique, beautiful trails.
The race begins at the Douglas County East/West Trailhead at Rocky Heights Middle School and follows the E/W Trail into the Backcountry, linking directly into the Wildcat Mountain trails.
