    Exeter Oral Surgery is excited to partner with Refuge International for the 2nd Annual Exeter Run for Hope 5K!

    This year’s event features a new course that’s easier to navigate with minimal elevation changes—a smoother route for runners, joggers, and walkers alike.

    Best part: every dollar raised supports medical and dental care for underserved communities in Guatemala. Our team has already completed two mission trips there, and we’re planning to return for a third in September 2026, bringing the Miles of Smiles dental trailer to help deliver care where it’s needed most.

    Lace up, show up, and let’s turn miles into smiles!

    Connor’s Climb is more than a 5K — it’s a chance to take action for youth mental health.

    By registering and fundraising for Connor’s Climb, you are supporting Connor’s Climb Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention education. Funds raised through this event help provide school-based programming, community workshops, and youth-led initiatives that raise awareness, reduce stigma, and equip young people with tools to support themselves and one another.

    Fundraise for Impact

    Participants are encouraged to fundraise as individuals or teams. Share your story, honor someone you love, or simply invite friends and family to support your climb. Every dollar raised helps expand the Foundation’s reach — including its Youth Ambassador Program, which empowers students to be peer leaders and mental health advocates in their schools.

    An Event for Everyone

    Connor’s Climb welcomes runners, walkers, families, and participants of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re going for a personal best or walking in remembrance, you’ll be part of a supportive, purpose-driven community — because no one should have to climb alone.

    Register. Fundraise. Make an impact.

    Join us for the Walk On 5K — Run, Walk, Roll, a timed 5K in Exeter, NH, bringing our community together to support families affected by Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD). Proceeds will benefit the Bailey girls, in partnership with the Dion Foundation for Children with Rare Disease.

    In the summer of 2025, sisters Kennedy (9) and Berkeley (6) Bailey were diagnosed with LGMD type 2C, a rare and progressive neuromuscular disease. From the moment they received this diagnosis, their family has faced it with strength and determination—committed to pursuing treatment options and supporting the advancement of research.

    Through their partnership with the Dion Foundation, this event helps raise awareness and critical funding—not only for Kennedy and Berkeley, but for all families navigating LGMD.

    This day is about more than fundraising. It’s about showing up—with energy, encouragement, and community—so these girls feel supported every step of the way.

    We invite you to be part of it: register, donate, volunteer, and follow their journey on social media (@walkonlgmd). Your support truly means everything.

    And to our sponsors—thank you for helping make this event possible!

    Please note:

    Strollers are welcome, in addition to handcycles and wheelchairs! No bicycles, and no dogs~ sorry!

    This is a charity 5K and, in the event of cancellation for any reason, registration fees are non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding.
