Event summary
Get ready for a day of fun, fitness, and community at the Apple Blossom 5K on Saturday, May 3, 2025, in St. Joseph, Buchanan! This beloved local event not only features a traditional 5K run/walk but also introduces exciting new challenges for teams looking to test their functional fitness and endurance. Participants can form teams to take on the 3.1-mile course in unique ways: the Tandem Run pairs runners who must stick together with a resistance band, the Burden Run requires teams to carry a kettlebell, and the Heavy Burden Run challenges teams to carry a sandbag. Whether you’re running solo or as part of a team, this event promises to be an exhilarating experience for everyone involved. Plus, every step you take helps support Sisters of Solace, a vital organization providing hospitality and healing for women survivors of trauma, human trafficking, and addiction. Join us for a fantastic day of camaraderie and fitness in support of a worthy cause!
