About the RHEMA YES 5K
This race in Lakewood supports a nonprofit that works with students from high school through graduate school, providing mentoring and scholarships. The course is a 5K run/walk, chip-timed for runners and separately tracked for walkers, which gives it a practical, no-frills character suited to a wide range of participants.
Packet pickup opens before the start, so you can arrive, get your bib, and settle in without rushing. There are post-race refreshments at the finish. Dogs are not permitted on the course.
