Running for Elsie's Heart

Stride with heart at our 5K Run for Elsie Dawn West, the brave little warrior fighting a tough battle against congenital heart defects. On April 11, 2026, at 10:00 am, lace up your running shoes and join us at Clay County Park Campground to support Elsie and the West family, as they navigate this challenging time filled with surgeries and hospital stays.

The energy will be high and the cause noble; we’ll race together along the scenic Chatuge Dam Trail, celebrating each step toward Elsie's recovery and a better future for her and her loved ones. With a $35 registration, you not only get to participate but also snag a memorable tee, enjoy delicious refreshments, and most importantly, lighten the load on Elsie’s family during their scariest season.

Let’s rally for this tiny fighter and her family – because when we run together, we make strides in faith, hope, and the power of our caring community.
