About the Mary's Meals "Run for Hope" 5K Run/Walk
The course runs through Highbanks Metro Park, a wooded park with wide trails and natural terrain. It is the kind of setting where you are moving through trees rather than along roads, and the park tends to be quiet even on race day.
The race is tied to Mary's Meals, a charity that funds school meals for children in impoverished communities, so the post-race atmosphere carries a sense of purpose. Activities are planned before and after the run, making it a longer morning than a typical out-and-back.
