About the event
Hello and welcome to the Annual JLGS 5K! This year, we are hosting a Diaper Dash in support of our friends at Square One! Help us cover every little bottom with this diaper drive initiative, while enjoying the beauty of Forest Park.
Participants are encouraged to donate a package of diapers on race day. Each package of diapers will earn you an entry into a prize drawing on race day!
This run will be a 5k race and fun run. Participants will be timed and there will be prizes for our top finishers.
Not interested in hustling? No problem! Feel free to stroll through beautiful Forest Park and enjoy the views while supporting the community!
Note: Diapers must be new/ununsed, but we do accept open packages for kids who have just outgrown that size!
