Run for the Angels Fun Run and Family Day

Join us for the 12th annual “Run for the Angels Fun Run and Family Day”(run, jog, or however you roll)! Our walk is to join together and remember all children who have died suddenly and unexpectedly, raise awareness of pregnancy, infant and child loss and provide a day to enjoy your family and friends. EVERYONE is welcome! Proceeds benefit the emotional support programs of Northwest Infant Survival and SIDS Alliance. 

Be sure to arrive early and visit our sponsor booths between 11 AM  and 1 pm.  An emotional support area complete with stations where you can create a luminary, paint a rock, make a button (bring a photo if you want) and more will also be available during this time. 

The silent auction will be in person this year! This is a great way to support NISSA and bring home a fun auction item!  If you would like to donate an auction item, call or text Liz at 208-557-4371

The fun run will start at 1:30 PM for registered participants. You can come down and walk the course (all or part) at your leisure. The course will close at 3 PM. Our remembrance ceremony will be from 1-1:30 PM at the picnic shelter. We will also be streaming the ceremony so you can watch on Facebook too!  

Runner registration and shirt/bag pick up is from 11am -3 pm on Sunday, October 13th at McEuen Park.

The Opening and Remembrance Ceremony begins promptly at 1:00 pm. We will be reading our children’s names. All children honored in previous years will automatically be added for this year. If you are joining us for the first time and would like your child’s name read and a sign created for the run route, please fill out this online form

“Run for the Angels” 5K fun run/walk launches at the beautiful McEuen Park. It continues along the marked paved pathway to the turn-around sign located at the halfway point. Most of the route is on the Centennial Trail with views of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene at your side. Bicycles and strollers are welcome on the trail. Have no fear, the trail will be clearly marked so you will not get lost. There are about 130 signs along the route with photos honoring our children.  Please be aware this is not a closed course and traffic will be flowing.
