5K Walk/Run for CDH

5K Walk/Run for CDH is held in Belton on April 3, 2027, with a single format: a 5K walk or run (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 AM. It is a community event raising awareness of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, honoring local survivors and supporting the nonprofit Tiny Hero, with music, food and activities around the race and participants of every age and ability level.

A charity 5K is the most forgiving kind of race to enter first. Walking it is entirely normal, the distance takes most people between 30 and 50 minutes on foot, and there is no pressure to post a time. If you would rather race it, 3.1 miles run hard is a useful measure of current fitness and a starting point for setting training paces. Four weeks of walking or jogging three times a week is enough preparation either way.
