5th Annual Run with Lily 5K & Kids Superhero Run

Get ready for the biggest and most inspiring Run with Lily yet! This event has grown tremendously over the years, bringing together runners, walkers, and supporters from across the country—and beyond—to honor Lily Butler’slegacy and make a lasting impact on mental health awareness.

Lily was more than an exceptional student and gifted distance runner at Providence Grove High School—she was a light to those around her. With unwavering kindness, humility, and a heart for others, she had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued. Though we lost Lily far too soon to an eating disorder at the age of 17, her spirit lives on in this event, which fuels mental health support for those in need through The Oaks Therapeutic Community.

Let’s Make 2026 Our Biggest Year Yet!

Last year, we had participants from 10 states and even an international runner from Sweden—and this year, we're setting our sights even higher! Our goal? Runners from at least 35 states and beyond! Whether you join us in person or virtually, every step you take helps raise awareness and ensures no one has to struggle alone.

Lace Up, Team Up, Show Up!

This isn’t just a race—it’s a movement. We encourage teams from schools, workplaces, churches, and communities to train together, challenge each other, and make a difference as a united force. Let’s fill the course (and the world) with Lily’s message of kindness and hope!

The Return of the Kids Superhero Run!

Calling all little heroes! Our Kids Superhero Run is back for its second year, bringing even more energy and fun to race day. Wear your favorite superhero costume and celebrate the power of courage, kindness, and community—just as Lily would have loved.

Join Us & Be Part of Something Extraordinary!

This event isn’t just about running—it’s about hope, healing, and honoring a legacy that continues to inspire. Sign up today, spread the word, and let’s make the 5th Annual Run with Lily the most impactful one yet!

"You can be anything, be kind." – Lily Butler

    Join the Haw River Assembly as we run to protect our river! Walkers, runners, racers, and ramblers alike are all welcome! Registered "Competitors" will participate in a 6K (3.6 mile) race around the Saxapahaw Island Loop Trail next to the scenic Haw River. Would you rather wander for your fresh air and the views?

    The Haw River Assembly is a 501(c)(3) non-profit citizens’ group founded in 1982 to restore and protect the Haw River and Jordan Lake and to build a watershed community that shares this vision. Our goals are to promote environmental education, conservation, and pollution prevention, to speak as a voice for the river in the public arena, and to put into peoples’ hands the tools and the knowledge they need to be effective guardians of the river. The scenic 110-mile Haw River is at the headwaters of the Cape Fear River Basin and includes the Jordan Lake reservoir, providing drinking water and recreation to NC. Haw River and Jordan Lake tributaries flow through Guilford, Rockingham, Caswell, Alamance, Orange, Chatham, Wake, and Durham counties. Almost one million people are part of this watershed–sedimentation, wastewater, and runoff impair its waters. We host events raising awareness around protecting our watershed through advocacy, providing volunteer opportunities, and sharing environmental

    education to all ages. Learn more on our website: https://hawriver.org/.

    Our family’s story is rooted in faith, obedience, and the beautiful gift of adoption. Recently, God forever changed our lives when we welcomed our daughter into our family through adoption. She is a daily reminder that family is not defined by biology, but by love and God’s perfect design. Becoming her parents has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives and has deepened our desire to care for children who need loving, permanent homes.

    Throughout our first adoption journey, our community and church family were an essential part of what God was doing. We were carried by prayers, encouragement, generosity, and unwavering support. In moments of uncertainty, we were encouraged by the family of God and reminded of God’s goodness and how he has cared for us. We truly could not have walked this road alone, and we are deeply grateful for a community that reflected Christ’s love so faithfully.

    Through continued prayer and discernment—we now feel God calling us to pursue adoption once again. We believe there is another child He is preparing to join our family, and we are stepping forward in faith, trusting Him. While adoption is an incredible gift, it also comes with significant financial costs, which is why we are hosting this 5K adoption fundraiser.

    This 5K is about more than raising money—it is about raising awareness and glorifying God through obedience. We are excited to invite our community and church family to walk alongside us once again as we grow our family through adoption. Every step taken, every dollar given, and every prayer offered helps bring us closer to welcoming another child home. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us share the hope and love found through adoption.
