🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Awakening Grace Foundation's 5K Remembrance Color Run in Oskaloosa, IA . It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉
Join us to run OR walk OR ride (bike, scooter, etc) the 5K course to remember the babies that have died during pregnancy or infancy. Want something a little shorter? We will also have a mile option. This is not just for families who have lost a baby, but for our entire community to come together and remember boldly together!
We will have food, music, games and so much more for the ENTIRE family! Stay tuned for more details, but plan to come with the entire family and make this a family tradition you come back to year after year!
These are the food trucks who will be present:
-Taco’s Jalisco
EACH participant must register BY September 7 to guarantee a white t-shirt and to be able to include your child's name on the back. Late registrations may NOT receive a t-shirt.
Extra shirts are available for purchase! $20 per shirt.
Only participants that are 15 years old AND OLDER need to pay for registration. Those 14 and under are free and may pay the additional $20 for a shirt if they would like.
