- **Event Name**: Build-N-Athlete 10k, 5k & Kid’s Run
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 31 May, 2026 at 08:30 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: 🏃‍♂️ Build-N-Athlete 10K, 5K &amp; Kids Fun Run — Year Two! 🏃‍♀️

What started as an idea to bring our community together around a cause bigger than a finish line is back — and we're ready to make 2026 even better.

In our first two years, Build-N-Athlete has helped nearly 200 youth athletes across Northeastern Pennsylvania get the equipment they need to play the sports they love. This race is one of the biggest reasons we can keep doing that. Every registration, every dollar, every step taken that morning goes directly toward making sure no kid is left on the sidelines because their family can't afford the gear.

The Build-N-Athlete 10K, 5K &amp; Kids Fun Run returns Sunday, May 31, 2026 at the Blakely Borough Recreational Complex along the scenic Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. Whether you're chasing a PR, showing up for the community, or just lacing up for a great morning — there's a place for you here.

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a simple mission — make sure no child sits out a season because their family can't afford the gear. We provide youth athletes with a dedicated equipment budget so they can choose what they need, show up prepared, and belong to their team.

This race is more than a morning run. It's a community coming together to make sure every kid gets to play.
