The BE THE GLOW FUN RUN-5K is a family-friendly community event with a powerful purpose. Families near and far come together for one common goal: fighting food insecurity in our community.

This annual fundraiser directly supports Lotz of Blessings food insecurity programs, including Pack-A-Snack, Brown Bag Buddies (PB&J), and Blessings Boxes. Through Pack-A-Snack, we provide weekend food to school children who rely on school meals. Brown Bag Buddies brings families and youth together to make thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for children in need. Blessings Boxes are free-access food boxes placed throughout the community to ensure families can get food when they need it most. When you participate in Be The Glow, you are helping ensure kids and families dont go hungry.

What makes Be The Glow different is the element of glow. When we spread kindness, we become a light in someone elses life. This event celebrates that idea in a joyful and memorable way, encouraging participants to wear bright colors, glow gear, and anything that shines as we light up the course together.

Participants can expect a fun, welcoming experience that includes glow stations along the course, a DJ and high-energy music, photo booth opportunities, a finisher medal, and an event t-shirt. Be The Glow is designed for all ages and abilities whether you choose to run, walk, push a stroller, ride in a wagon, or cheer from the sidelines, you are part of the impact.

Be The Glow is more than a run. Its a celebration of kindness, community, and coming together to help feed our neighbors.
