Join us for a family-friendly 5K race and fun run/walk!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 8 a.m. at Busse Woods (Grove #32) for a great cause!

The Christus Victor Lutheran Church Food Pantry supports over 60 families each week who come in to “shop” for free. In addition to offering nonperishable and perishable food items, we also offer personal care products and hats and gloves in the winter. This funds raised from this event will support our food pantry!

This event is open to the community and will be a family-friendly event. There will be a DJ and a cookout with delicious food to follow! In addition to a chip-timed 5K run or walk, there will be activities for the children and an untimed (free) children’s race. There will also be a box to collect food donations!

A raffle to support the food pantry will also be held on Sunday, Sep. 27 at Christus Victor Lutheran Church, if you are interested in winning fun prizes!
