About the event

Run with joy to bring joy!

The fourth annual Joy Run 5K returns with even more options to keep our dear runners safe, healthy and motivated in 2021! 

This year participants have the option of running in the Joy Run virtually at any point from 9/18/21 to 10/9/21 or to come celebrate with us in person at a live Joy Run 5K on 10/9/21! Not only that, but runners have the ability to switch their choice up until Thursday 10/7/21! While the spread of COVID-19 continues to decline and Pennsylvania returns to more in-person gatherings every day, we at Operation Joy understand that this shift can change as new data emerges and we want to ensure that our runners have the ability to shift as well. That's right! Run the 5K your way with joy!

The Miles of Joy Challenge is also back by popular demand! A fully virtual collaborative activity in honor of the 296 families which Operation Joy served in recent years. Participants will all add their logged miles to reach a shared goal of 2,960 miles traveled! That's 10 miles for each family served. An amazing donor has promised an additional $1,000 when we hit 2,960 miles! Walk, run or strut as much as you can or as short as you choose--every mile helps!    

Both events raise crucial funds for Operation Joy, a charity initiative of Child and Family Focus to provide additional support for our child clients and their families above and beyond our normal emotional and behavioral health programs. For more about Child and Family Focus and Operation Joy, see www.ChildAndFamilyFocus.org

5K racers are automatically registered in the Miles of Joy FOR FREE and can add their 3.1 miles to this goal, plus more!
