    Myles for a Mission 5K - The mission of the 5k is to raise awareness of childhood drowning prevention. This race is held to honor the memory of Myles Davis Pope. Myles tragically passed away just shy of his 2nd birthday due to a drowning accident. Our mission is to raise money and awareness to prevent and educate others of childhood drownings. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4, and the second leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 5-14.

    Children five years old and younger are especially vulnerable, representing 75% of child drowning deaths. Boys are also more than twice as likely to drown as girls.

    All proceeds will be donated to the Myles Davis Pope Memorial Fund. Our mission is to provide funding for survival swim instruction for children 6 years and under whose parents cannot afford the lessons otherwise, to provide CPR/First Aid and AED certification for individuals 8 years and older and to provide other lifesaving water safety education to families to help prevent children from drowning. Together, we can help prevent childhood drowning. Please help us spread prevention by supporting the 5K.

    Race Course (see course map below): Runners and walkers will enjoy a 3.1 mile road course starting from Grace Lutheran Church parking lot and turning into the gently rolling neighborhood of Grace Ridge to loop through all three neighborhood phases of Grace Ridge. This race is for recreational runners and walkers as well as competitive runners.

    The fun run course will be held on Grace Lutheran property.

    Awards - 5K: Overall Top 3 Male & Female and Overall Masters Male & Female awards will be given. The top 3 runners in each of the following divisions will receive awards: Male and Female ages 12 & under, 13-15, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 & over.
