This Mother’s Day, take a stroll or run with your family to support Parenting Now and ensure that local children are raised by nurturing, skilled parents.

The 5K course will travel through the flat and scenic Alton Baker Park paths along the Willamette River. Enjoy a beautiful spring day with family and fun activities to celebrate Mother’s Day with Parenting Now!

Honor a special mother or father by running/walking in their honor.

We will acknowledge those running in honor throughout the event. There will be a spot on your race bib to write their name.

 

 

 

Squishtivities Play Area!
We will have free sensory activities and messy play in our Squishtivities play area during the 5K run/walk.  The activities are best suited for children aged 2.5 – 5, encourage sensory exploration, which supports neural development, fine and gross motor skills, as well as concentration and problem-solving. Activities will take place outside and social distancing is encouraged.
