At the Let Me Run FallFest 5K, the finish line means more than a race time. It represents the boy who found the confidence to keep going, the teammate who encouraged a friend, and the proud smile that comes from achieving a personal goal. On Sunday, November 8, central Ohio families are invited to celebrate those moments together.
Helping Boys Grow, One Step at a Time
Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. For seven weeks, elementary and middle school boys meet twice a week with trained volunteer coaches. Through running, games, and meaningful conversations, they build friendships, learn to express emotions, respect differences, and develop confidence that extends beyond race day.
A Finish Line for Everyone
FallFest celebrates seven weeks of growth and teamwork as boys complete 3.1 miles surrounded by cheering coaches, families, and friends.
The community is invited to join them! Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome, whether you're chasing a personal best, enjoying a family walk, or coming to cheer.
Arrive early for temporary tattoos, green hair spray, bib decorating, and cheering signs. Every smile, high-five, and encouraging voice helps make race day memorable.
