Jackson is an eleven-year-old boy who has faced extraordinary medical challenges since birth. After years of searching for answers, doctors determined in 2023 that he needed a life-saving intestinal transplant. Following multiple complications and life-support interventions, Jackson was officially listed and received his transplant on August 18, 2025. While this milestone was a miracle, his journey to healing continues.
When you join this race, you’re not just running —
🏃♂️ You’re helping Jackson go the distance.
🎽 You’re supporting his strength, courage, and recovery.
💙 You’re becoming part of his team.
This event proudly supports the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in honor of Jackson. Funds raised help cover transplant-related expenses, travel, and the ongoing resources he needs to keep fighting.
Enjoy a fun-filled, family-friendly morning featuring an incredible DJ, face painting, vendors, sponsors, snacks, and hydration along the course. Packet pickup begins at 7:00 AM, with vendors and sponsors ready by 7:30 AM. A special kids’ race for ages 4–16 is available for just $15.
The Jacobs family is deeply grateful for every stride, donation, prayer, and act of kindness that brings hope to Jackson’s journey.
