From the organizer

The 10th annual Home Run 5K supports the children served through various Children’s Home programs. The Free Will Baptist Children’s Home provides caring, supportive homes for youth in and aging out of foster care in our Alternative Family Placement, Family Foster Care & amp; Adoptions, and Thrive Independent Living programs.

The course starts and ends in the center of campus, taking runners through the campus and surrounding farmland and consists of several small hills.
