Lipman 5k Run for Backpacks

We're back again for 2024!  The 10th Annual Lipman 5K Run For Backpacks will be hosted in Ave Maria, FL. The Lipman 5K is a race the whole family can participate in.  ALL of the proceeds will go towards purchasing backpacks, bicycles, shoes, and other school supplies for Lipman's Annual Backpack Giveaway, hosted in Immokalee every August.  This will be the 14th year that Lipman has hosted its backpack giveaway and this is a great way for you to contribute in a healthy way.  School supplies are more essential than ever.  Help us take the weight off of families during a demanding back-to-school season by registering for the Lipman 5K Run For Backpacks.   The event will take place on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 from Annunciation Circle in beautiful Ave Maria.   We invite the serious runner, the weekend jogger, and families with children to come enjoy this beautiful course around the lakes at Ave Maria. There will also be a 1 Mile walking course and a free Junior Fun Run for kids 10 and under.  All race registrants will receive a dri-fit long-sleeved shirt.  Trophies will be awarded for the male and female winners in a number of age categories.
