Registration is officially open for the Run for Shelter 5k / 10k / No-k, happening July 11, 2026 — and this is one of our favorite events of the year.
Whether you’re a runner, a walker, or just in it for the experience, this event is designed so anyone can show up and be part of it.
Here’s what to expect:
- 🌿 A scenic trail course through shaded countryside
- 👟 5k (one loop) and 10k (two loops) options
- ☕ A relaxed No-k experience with coffee, donuts, conversation, and a front-row seat to the fun
- 🎽 A soft cotton-blend race shirt (if you register by the June 27 deadline)
- 🏅 Finisher medals and event-day extras
- 🎉 A laid-back, welcoming atmosphere — no pressure, no timing, just participation
The morning kicks off at 7:30 AM, with gates opening at 7:00 AM. The 10k starts first, followed by the 5k, while No-k participants enjoy a slower pace from the start.
The course is set on private land and features a mix of:
- wooded trails
- grass paths
- natural terrain
It’s not a pavement race — it’s a get-outside-and-enjoy-it kind of morning.
And if running isn’t your thing? That’s exactly why the No-k exists.
Come for the coffee.
Come for the community.
Come to support the mission in a way that fits you.
Every registration helps support the ongoing care Project Nic provides to children around the world — but the event itself is about something simple:
showing up together.
👉 Registration is open now, and we’d love to have you there.
