The Hope House 5K and Fun Run will be 9 a.m. Saturday, May 5, at Lake Arbor Park in Arvada. Last year over 300 attended the event that is both family friendly and competitive as it is an official BolderBOULDER qualifier race.

The course features a paved trail, and the Fun Run will take place after the official 5K. The morning also includes fun activities for kids, including a bounce house, three live PJ Masks characters, face painting and the ever-popular Diaper Dash.

“We absolutely love the support that Arvada has shown us since we first opened our doors 15 years ago,” said Lisa Steven, founder and executive director of Hope House. “When the community shows our teen moms that they believe they can change their future, it encourages them as they work hard toward self-sufficiency.”

Hope House of Colorado was named the Nonprofit of the Year by the Arvada Chamber earlier this year. It is an Arvada-based nonprofit organization that offers free self-sufficiency programs to parenting teen moms.
