The 18th Annual Run for Justice 5K is on Saturday, April 24, 2026. You can also make or collect donations in addition to your entrance fee. Every person and donation makes a difference!
What started as a small handful of runners wanting to make a difference, has grown to a community of nearly 1,000 people who run, walk, and volunteer! In the past 17 years, we have raised over $450,000 to benefit the International Justice Mission and we will keep raising money until all are free!
The Kids' Dash for kids 10 and under will be on Friday, April 23 at 6 pm during early bib pick-up at Calvary Church.
10K Update: Due to the incredible growth of Run for Justice, we will not be offering a 10K race in 2027. Because the 10K course doubles back through the 5K route, increasing congestion has created safety concerns for runners — but we hope to bring the 10K back in the future as trail systems in West Lafayette continue to expand. In the meantime, we hope our 10K runners will still join us for the 5K as we continue running together for justice.
