The Ben Layton 5K is organized to help raise money for Ben's Red Swings and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a blood cancer that Ben had.

The 5k and fun walk start outside Ben's Red Swings, go through the zoo and end at Ben's Red Swings. We are also continuing to offer a virtual option 5k this year for people who are not able to join us in person.

Custom designed socks are guaranteed to the first 150 entrants. Raffle prizes will be awarded on race day.

The race will be held rain or shine!
