About the Always in Our Hearts 5K

This race runs in memory of two brothers lost to congenital heart defects, and that purpose is present in how it feels. Families show up alongside runners, and a lot of people are there for someone specific. The proceeds go toward pediatric heart care and support for families navigating serious illness.
