Your Support Makes a Difference

HELPING provide financial support and build awareness for families being impacted by childhood cancer in our community. 

REGISTER TODAY FOR 2026 7th Annual incourage 5k

7th annual incourage 5k RUN/WALK

Last year, our community showed up in a big way—hosting over 200 runners and raising more than $20,000 to support childhood cancer awareness and the families who need it most.

Our Focus for 2026


This year, we are putting all of our energy into our signature 5K Run/Walk. By streamlining our event schedule and focusing on a single race, we are able to dedicate more of our resources and registration proceeds directly to childhood cancer awareness and support.


  • Note to families: While we are no longer hosting a separate Kids Color Run, children are absolutely welcome to participate in the 5K! Whether they are in a stroller or running their first full 5K, we can’t wait to see them at the starting line.


Join us once again at the beautiful Falls Park in downtown Pendleton. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or enjoying a scenic stroll through 284 acres of natural trails along Fall Creek, your presence makes a profound impact. Run, walk, or cheer—every step brings us closer to a difference. Register today and let's make this year our biggest yet!
