Organiser's Description
WE ARE BACK!
Join us for FAMpoint5K: The Race for the Rest of Us on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens.
After having to cancel last years event, we are so excited to bring back one of our favorite fundraisers and return FAMpoint5K to the heart of what it was always meant to be: a short, silly, donut-fueled .5K with a serious purpose.
This year, we are excited to partner with MavFAM: Foster Alumni Community, a student organization at Colorado Mesa University that helps build community and connection for students with foster care experience and supporters who care about this work. A portion of the funds raised from FAMpoint5K will also support MavFAM and their efforts on campus.
No training required. No running necessary. Walk, stroll, roll, cheer, laugh, stop for a donut, and help us raise funds and awareness for youth and adults impacted by foster care.
Race starts at 2:00 p.m.
Check-in will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions, help you get checked in, and point you in the right direction.
Along with the .5K, we will have plenty of fun throughout the event, including prize giveaways, best costume, biggest team, photo opportunities, our midway donut station, and a special secret prize that will not be revealed until it is time to give it away.
Register individually, gather your family, or start/join a team. Then create a fundraiser to help us reach our goal and support Foster Alumni Mentors work providing connection, stability, and support for young people and adults with foster care experience.
The race may be short, but the impact is big.
We cant wait to celebrate with you, laugh with you, and change lives together.
Come for the donuts. Stay for the mission.
See you on race day!
