The first Heather's Home was established in November of 2009 in Haiti by John and Heather Earley of Erin, NY. A second home is open in Ghana now in cooperation with Love Aflame! Worldwide. Both homes are providing abandoned kids with a home, education, family, love, hope and a future. For more information about Heather's Home, visit www.HeathersHome.org.

Kids Fun Run is for ages 12 & under. Finisher Medals for the 5K are for the first 125 participants.

We are offering a Virtual Race! This means our participants may be from all over the world!  Join our team and run the Heather’s Home 5K Virtual Race beginning June 1 through June 10. 

What Is A Virtual Race? A Virtual Race is like a traditional race but it takes place in a location and time of your choice. You can walk, jog, or run wherever you may be, and at any time during the race timeframe for your chosen distance. All participants in the Heather's Home Virtual Race will receive a race packet via mail after the race. (Local runners may also choose to pick up their packet or have it delivered within a 20-mile radius.) Runners will receive a race t-shirt (available for an additional fee) and custom Finisher Medal. Registration includes all domestic shipping fees. Additional fees for international shipping.
