The Forrest Spence 5K returns on August 23rd, 2025 for our 5th year at Shelby Farms Park.
Don’t just run, run to serve a family in need.
Bring the entire family to enjoy a fun morning at Shelby Farms Park where we will offer a 100 yard dash for kids (9 & under) at 9:15 and 1 Mile Fun Run (kids 12 & under) at 9:20 am. There will be games, bounce houses, slides, food, awards, and more.
The Forrest Spence Fund is an official 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that assists with the non-medical needs of critically or chronically ill children and their families throughout the Mid-South. We have assisted over 138,000 families with a sick child.
