Morning Star Christian Fellowship is sponsoring a 5th annual 5K run/walk with all proceeds going to support local area homeless shelters and Transformation Life Center (TLC). Come join us on Saturday morning, November 1, 2025, for this challenging 5K run/walk (walkers are welcome!!!).

The course winds through the neighborhood between East Chester and Foxhall Streets, taking ‘advantage’ of hills on both sides of Clifton Avenue (the ‘backbone’ of the course), and passing twice through Hutton Park. A scenic view of the Catskills is included.

The event will have special awards and prizes. T-shirts will be given to the first 100 registrants. Entry fee is $25 for adults (19+) and $15* for youth (18 & under) with option for additional donations. Last minute event day registration can be done in person between 8:00 – 8:45 am. *The discounted youth rate will be applied automtically at checkout to those who qualify.
