  Walk or Run with Us at the 7th Annual Co-op 5K!

  Everyone is welcome to join us for this fun, family-friendly community event—whether you walk or run. By participating, you’ll help make healthy, local food more affordable for neighbors in need.

  Where do the proceeds go?

  Net proceeds from the race support our Community Co-op Cash Program, which provides qualifying shoppers (EBT, TANF, WIC, or Unemployment benefactors.) with 15% off store-wide for an entire year. Our goal is simple: to make fresh, nourishing food more accessible and affordable for everyone in our community.

  This program is funded entirely through the generosity of our Co-op owners and shoppers and reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our neighbors and strengthening food access for all. We hope it helps make shopping at the Co-op a little more affordable—and a lot more enjoyable.

  Race Options

  This year, we’re offering both in-person and virtual participation.

  Register by May 2, 2026 to guarantee your race t-shirt.

  Important Notes:

  • No dogs are permitted on the race course

  • Strollers are welcome

  We can’t wait to see you there—thank you for helping us build a healthier, more inclusive community!

  Join us for a fast, flat course at the Stafford Regional Airport for a beautiful sunset run!

  Go for Bo Race grew from the idea of having a fun, healthy, and challenging community event to support the children and families of Bo, Sierra Leone, Africa.

  The Republic of Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, and Bo is a town of approximately 500,000 located in the Southern Province. Sierra Leone is known for mining and exporting diamonds, but it struggles to manage exploitation and export in the diamond trade. Most of its citizens live in extreme poverty. These factors have contributed to a situation in which child trafficking and public health are major problems.

  That’s where we come in. For more than a decade, Ebenezer Church has been proud to partner with Helping Children Worldwide. Through its programs, the Child Reintegration Centre and Mercy Hospital, they provide critical services to families in Bo, Sierra Leone, Africa. Through our partnership, the people of Ebenezer Church have donated more than $250,000 to help build the hospital’s surgical wing, purchase an ambulance, and care for the children of Bo. This year, the relationship is expanding to support HCW’s education, family stability, maternal health, and childhood nutrition initiatives in Sierra Leone.

  Register by 8/23/26 to guarantee your race t-shirt!
