Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, this race is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a scenic route through Jacksonville’s rich history while supporting a fantastic cause. The course winds its way along the beautiful Emerald Trail, beginning and ending at the iconic Operation New Hope building in Springfield. 

By participating in the Hope Starts Here 5K, you’ll be helping to create safer communities, stronger economies, and more stable families in Jacksonville. And that’s not all – the proceeds from this incredible event will go directly to Operation New Hope, an organization that believes in the power of second chances. We know that everyone makes mistakes, but we also believe that with hard work and dedication, anyone can turn their life around. 

For the past 25 years, Operation New Hope has been helping people who have been affected by the criminal justice system to find meaningful employment, access mental health services, and build a brighter future for themselves and their families. So come on out and join us for a day of fun, fitness, and community spirit! Your participation in the Hope Starts Here 5K will make a real difference in the lives of people who are working hard to turn their lives around, and you’ll have a blast doing it.
