Event summary

Join us for the 2nd Annual PPP3CA Race for Rare 5k Run/Walk on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at beautiful Lake Shawnee in Topeka, Kansas! This exciting event aims to raise funds and awareness for children affected by the rare PPP3CA condition, which leads to cognitive impairment and severe epilepsy. Choose between a 1 Mile Walk or a 5k Run/Walk while making a meaningful impact in the lives of these children and their families.

Last year, we raised nearly $15,000 to support groundbreaking research, and this year, we're aiming even higher! The event kicks off at 9 AM and promises a fun-filled day for the whole family, complete with a free pancake bar, water, and delicious coffee from the Chaos Coffee Truck. Kids will love the bubbles, chalk, wristbands, face painting, and participant medals! Plus, we'll recognize our top finishers across various categories with First Place Medals.

Don't miss this opportunity to race towards a cure while enjoying a fantastic community atmosphere. For more information and to stay updated, visit www.ppp3cahope.org. Let's come together to support the PPP3CA Hope Foundation and make a difference!

Organiser's Description

Please join the PPP3CA Hope Foundation in our 2nd Annual PPP3CA Race for Rare 5k Run/Walk campaign held at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, Kansas! Thanks to your amazing support last year, we raised nearly $15k and funded a research mouse model for PPP3CA. This year, we're aiming even higher, to drive more research, more hope, and more progress for our kids living with this disease.

Complete a 1 Mile Walk or a 5k Run/Walk while helping children with PPP3CA that causes cognitive impairment and severe epilepsy.
On September 28th, run, walk, or simply show up to visit with us at 9am!

This is a family-friendly event! We will have a free pancake bar and water along with Chaos Coffee Truck on-site to purchase your favorite morning drink. For kiddos, we will have bubbles, chalk, wristbands, face-paint and participant medals!
We will also award First Place Medals to our first finishers (Adult Male, Adult Female, Teen, Child under 12, and Eldest).

Your donation will directly support the research efforts facilitated through the non-profit organization, PPP3CA Hope Foundation, and will help children and families living with PPP3CA-related disease, including Claire and her family. To learn more about our researchers and their plan to find a cure, please visit: www.ppp3cahope.org [https://www.ppp3cahope.org] or email Jacci Pittz at [email protected]
