About First-Gen 5k
First Gen-5K – Run for Opportunity, Grow Together
Join us on August 8th at 7:30 AM at Baseline Road Trailhead for the inaugural First Gen-5K, a race dedicated to supporting first-generation college students.
More than just a run, this event is a growing space for the community where local businesses, leaders, and families come together to connect, promote, and inspire. With chip timing, sponsor booths, and a welcoming environment, it’s a powerful way to move forward together.
Every step supports education. Every booth builds connection.
Let’s run with purpose and grow as one.
Proceeds from this event will support the First Generation Foundation, the Vida Valiente Foundation, and local scholarship initiatives that directly impact first-generation students in our community.
