Lace up your shoes. Gather your co-workers, friends and family!

We want to see YOU at the 2025 Race for a Place to Call Home, a fun 5K/10K Run & Walk through the park and along the river to raise awareness and support to End Youth Homelessness in our community. A 1-mile option also is available.

Professional chipped timing will be provided for all runners. The course is flat and fast — a great opportunity to set a new PR. Trophies will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the men’s and women’s 5K and 10K, along with other prizes for age group winners.

All registrants receive running bibs, t-shirts and finisher medallions with lanyard. Register before Aug. 1 to guarantee your race t-shirt size.

Why is it important?

Each year, approximately 400 Rock County youth experience homelessness. This event raises critical funds to provide these youth basic needs assistance, housing options, and life-changing opportunities and support.

Whether you walk, jog or run — every step you take helps keep youth safe, healthy and moving forward. Are you in?

We’re looking for groups who are:

  • Excited to step up & give back
  • Willing to rally coworkers / others
  • Up for a fun challenge

Why join?

  • Fun teambuilding activity
  • Great swag
  • Get your steps in
  • Supports a great cause
