Make Your Plan
Friday night is where race weekend begins.
Hosted at the new Kairos Public Schools campus, located across the freeway from Kaiser Permanente off Leisure Town Road, the Expo brings together packet pickup, local vendors, food, coffee, family-friendly games, raffle opportunities, and a meaningful fundraiser through GivJoi.
Reminder: this is the only scheduled bib and packet pickup for the Village Run 5K.
This Is More Than Packet Pickup
Before we run together, we gather together.
Most races make packet pickup feel like a transaction. You stand in line, grab your bib, and leave.
Village Run is different. Race weekend should begin with the people, the purpose, and the community behind the miles.
Pick up your bib and race shirt.
Meet the community.
Enjoy the energy.
Bring your family.
Support local vendors.
Take part in the raffle.
Visit the giving booth.
Add your purpose to the wall.
Come For Your Bib. Stay For The Village.
A night built for connection, movement, and meaning.
Everything is designed to feel easy, welcoming, and fun; whether you are racing, volunteering, sponsoring, cheering, giving, or simply showing up for the community.
Bib + Packet Pickup
Grab your bib, race shirt, and key race weekend details so Saturday morning feels smoother.
Local Vendors

Raffle + Giving
Every ticket, gift, sponsor, and conversation helps move youth access and The Track Project forward.
Family-Friendly Games
Jump in, cheer, laugh, move, or just enjoy the energy with kids, parents, friends, and neighbors.
The Purpose Wall
Write what you are running, walking, giving, or showing up for before race day begins.
Meet The Village
Connect with sponsors, volunteers, school families, nonprofit partners, and the people behind the weekend.
Impact Night
Running for something bigger.
The Expo is also an Impact Fundraiser supporting youth access and The Track Project through GivJoi, the nonprofit impact partner connected to Village Run.
This year, a special focus of the evening is helping raise support for the Kairos Public Schools track project and expanding access to movement, mentorship, and opportunity for young people in our community.
Because talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Village Run creates the gathering. GivJoi helps turn that gathering into access, opportunity, and lasting impact.
The Purpose Wall
Every mile has meaning.
Before race day, you will have the opportunity to write down what you are running, walking, giving, or showing up for.

The Village Games
Movement, laughter, teamwork, and community energy.
In partnership with Trial Built CrossFit, the Expo will feature the first-ever Village Games.
This is not about elite fitness. It is not about competition. It is about families, friends, kids, parents, runners, walkers, and neighbors jumping in, cheering each other on, and creating memories together before race day.
Family-friendlyAll abilitiesCome ready to laugh
Food + Coffee + Vendors + Community
Healthy communities are built when people show up together.
Gather Locally
A place to connect before we race.
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy local food, coffee, running, wellness, and community vendors. You will meet local and national partners who care about health, movement, family, and community impact.
This is a place to gather, connect, discover what is happening locally, and be reminded that the Village is built by people who choose to show up.
Who Should Come?
All are welcome.
You do not need to be registered for the 5K to attend the Expo. Bring your family. Invite a friend. Come be part of the Village.
Why It Matters
Most races start at the starting line. Village Run starts here.
At the Run With Purpose Expo + Impact Fundraiser, we gather before we go. We pick up our bibs. We meet the people behind the weekend. We support youth access. We enjoy the games. We share food, conversation, and community.
Come for your bib. Stay for the Village. Help make a lasting impact.
