The Bayou Hills Run is one of Pensacola’s oldest running events and is partnered with the City of Pensacola to make it the Official Pensacola 5K and 10K City of Pensacola Championships. Runners will have some serious bragging rights for winning the race and their age division. In addition to awards stating “Pensacola City Championships”, the overall male and female winners for both the 5k and 10K will be welcome and recognized at a city council meeting following the race. We have partnered with the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation, along with Pensacola Sports both will be beneficiary of this great tradition and iconic Pensacola race.

The Mission of the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation is to enhance education by investing in our students to ensure their success. Established in 1986, we are recognized as the district-wide education foundation for public schools in Escambia County. We work collaboratively with school leaders to determine how and where private-sector investment and volunteer involvement can have the greatest impact on student success. Donations can enhance Grants for Excellence for schools, Golden Apple Awards Banquet for Teachers of the Year, Academic and MIRA Awards Ceremonies for outstanding students, or Take Stock in Children events and scholarships for deserving students.

We look forward to working with the community to grow this great, fun, unique event.

The JellyBean 5K (JB5K) Run/Walk is an annual fundraiser that supports Trinity Presbyterian Church's Outreach and Service Projects. This year's Race Beneficiary will be our very own Manna Food Pantries. Local to our area, Manna Food Pantries' mission is to offer emergency food assistance, serve the food-related needs of vulnerable populations, and engage the entire community in the fight against hunger. Manna is a local grassroots organization fighting hunger in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. They provide groceries directly to individuals and families in need, free of charge. Manna does not receive government funding and relies on funding from individuals, foundations, faith-based organizations, businesses, and corporations.

Register today to enjoy a family-friendly event and to help support our neighbors at Manna Food Pantries. All proceeds from the race will go directly to Manna to continue supporting their mission in our community!
