About the Lace Up for a Cause: For A Better Tomorrow 5K & 2K

This race in Bloomington supports a local organization working with youth experiencing homelessness, so the cause is woven into the event rather than sitting in the background. Along and around the course, there are hands-on STEAM activity stations aimed at kids and curious adults, which gives race day a bit of a festival-meets-field-trip feel without being chaotic.
