Join us for the Ella Rose Foundation’s first-ever “Your Way 5K”—a community event where everyone is welcome to participate their way! Run, walk, stroll, push a stroller, or roll—this 5K is all about inclusion, movement, and coming together for a meaningful cause.

Proceeds from the Your Way 5K directly support the Ella Rose Foundation’s mission to help families with children with special needs by providing financial assistance, resources, support, and inclusive opportunities. Hope grows with Ella Rose, and every roll or step you take helps that hope reach more families. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or simply enjoying a beautiful day with family and friends, your participation helps make a real difference.

Come as you are, move at your own pace, and help us create a more inclusive community—one step at a time.
