GR8FUL4LIFE 5K Run/Walk 2026

Description

We are excited to be welcome runners/walkers to a New Location this year! The course features all paved trails, providing a smooth and enjoyable route for participants of all ages and abilities.

The GR8FUL4LIFE 5K Run/Walk (aka G4L5K) is an event celebrating the beautiful blessing of life and the strong spirit of persistence and faith by which we overcome its many challenges. It invites the strivers, thrivers and survivors, who can relate to a story of resilience and determination in their respective journeys, to come together in the spirit of competition and camaraderie. More than just a race, it symbolizes gratitude and perseverance, aiming to inspire and uplift participants while fostering a sense of community and hope.

This fund-raising event is hosted by Open Heaven Musicfest, a 501c3 non-profit organization, with a dedicated mission to provide community outreach services. We aim to foster relationships and bring together the collaborative efforts of churches, local service agencies and complementary missions; utilizing shared resources to most effectively serve and infuse genuine hope into the lives of people across local communities. We are committed to holding family-friendly events, free to the public, that feature live faith-inspirational music. The annual events are divinely inspirational and are instrumental in promoting fellowship, new connections, healing and encouragement – ultimately, strengthening a sense of purpose and community.

Psalm 66:8-9 Give honor and thanks to God, O people and let all hear how great He is! He keeps us alive, and does not let our feet go out from under us.
