'a run for Hope' raises funds to support Annie's Hope. Coordinated by volunteers and timed by Big River Race Management, our 5K at Route 66 State Park - the flattest, fastest 5K in town - includes family-friendly activities and refreshments, a balloon artist, and more. The 10th-anniversary event will feature new activities and surprises!   

Annie's Hope provides 10 free support programs for children, teens and families grieving deaths.

The cost to serve 3,600 youth and adults annually is more than $784,000. Since 1998 Annie's Hope has relied on the generosity of the community to offer grieving kids a place to turn when their moms, dads, siblings, friends and special people die. 

Memorial teams are welcome.

Sponsorship at any level includes your team name or sentiment (<45 characters) printed on the RACE SHIRT. Contact [email protected] or send your completed Sponsorship Agreement by July 10th.
