RACE WEEK FAQs

Can I still register on race day? 
Absolutely! Same-day registration will be available for $40. Invite your friends and family — it’s not too late to join us!

Is this event kid-friendly?
Absolutely. We celebrate all children at this event — those with us and those waiting in Heaven. We’ve designed an event that encourages open conversation with your kids, and an environment that is fun and engaging. 

Strollers, bikes, scooters and dogs?
Strollers are welcome for the walk, so bring your babes along for the ride! Because of the size of the crowd, we ask that you leave your pups and your wheels at home.  

Each year, our hope is that this race will be a place to acknowledge every couple who long to be parents and to remember every child waiting in Heaven. Our race consists of an interactive Remembrance Walk (1 mile). The interactive element has markers along the way representing the infertility journey, miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss.

REMEMBRANCE WALK
Along the route – at the different markers – you will see tables with a sign representing each stage of the pregnancy journey. If you are walking in memory of a child or in honor of a couple navigating infertility, there will be an opportunity at each table to honor that child or family. Many parents grieve these various losses in isolation, unsure of how to feel and unaware of shared experiences in their community. This event is a tangible picture of just how many families in our midst are affected by this type of loss.

AWARDS & CLOSING CEREMONIES
At the conclusion of the race and awards, we will share a few stories of loss and infertility and give a chance to publicly honor every story together as a larger community. We encourage all participants to stay for this part of the event. 

HOW THIS RACE WAS BORN
On October 23, 2019, founders Theo & Brittany Facinoli gave birth to their stillborn daughter, Hannah at 29 weeks gestation. At the time, they only knew of two people – in their 31 years — who had experienced and shared something like this before. But since then, they have watched many untold stories come into the light.

We have learned that beauty will rise out of the ashes as we pursue healing in Jesus and allow these stories from the valley to have an eternal impact.

Isolation is one of the greatest obstacles to experiencing healing after child loss and along the infertility journey. One of our hopes is to see our community's bereaved families come to this event surrounded by their circle of friends and family.

Many people you're connected to may not know how best to support you as you walk through this life experience. Asking them to join your team or donate to your team's page offers an opportunity for them to support you and be present in your journey. So get your friends, small group, church family, coworkers, and family members together to run, walk or donate to support your team!
