Run to Jesus 5K (Canton, OH)

The event honors the legacy of Team Bernard Prince, promoting hope and resilience through running. Born from Bernard's vision to support those facing trauma, it celebrates faith, diversity, and inclusivity across all abilities. The event features worship music by local artists, led by Bernard's son, creating a spiritual ambiance. Participants can also partake in a baptism ceremony, inspired by Bernard's spirit of recruitment to faith. The origin story traces back to a conversation where Bernard, diagnosed with Kugelberg Welander Syndrome, shared his dreams of running as an embodiment of persistence and determination.
