Organiser's Description

Chasing Rainbows is a social 5k community run, walk, or stroll.

Join us October 19, 2025 for our 3rd annual charity race that brings awareness to Pregnancy, Infant, and Child Loss Awareness Month, and directly supports those who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a loved one. This event is a celebration of resilience, compassion, solidarity, and to remember all those who left us far too soon. Beyond extending a comforting hand to those who grieve, we're also proud to champion the Chasing Rainbows Foundation and the Conquering CHD organization.

We are honored to dedicate this year's race to Chase James Brewer, who left this world at just 9 months old, in June 2025 from complications of Congenital Heart Disease. The proceeds raised from this race will go directly towards grief counseling for OBX families and research towards Congenital Heart Disease. The Chasing Rainbows Foundation offers support to mothers and families affected by pregnancy and infant loss by providing education, teaching self-advocacy skills, helping families cope with loss and giving hope for subsequent pregnancies. Conquering CHD promotes federal and state policies to improve quality and outcomes for CHD patients, as well as developing educational resources, and supporting members of the CHD community through every stage of the disease process.

Chasing Rainbows was created in memory of my son, B.B. Collins, who passed in 2019 with a mission to ensure that no one faces their grieving journey alone. Join us to honor the memory of C.J., B.B., and all those weve lost. Together, we can bring awareness, hope, and healing. Lace up your sneakers, join our community, and let your steps echo the stories of strength and hope as we stride towards a brighter future.
