Grace Centers of Hope’s rapidly growing “Pave the Way” Run returns to Stony Creek Metropark for its third annual edition, raising critical funds to support individuals recovering from homelessness, addiction, and trauma through life-skills programs.
The certified half marathon begins at 7:30 am EDT, running through the park’s scenic wooded trails and park roads. Participants will enjoy a peaceful, tree-lined course with rolling terrain, ideal for both PR-seekers and recreational runners. With staggered start times, the 10K follows at 8:30, and the 5K at 8:45 am.
Everything runners need is included: early packet pickup, race shirt, bib, finisher medal, light refreshments, and a park-entry pass (if needed). Top corporate and peer fundraising teams are recognized, adding friendly competition to the community-based event and helping participants amplify their impact.
What sets it apart is its mission-driven purpose: every step helps empower men, women, and children rebuilding their lives. The combination of professional execution—chip timing, clear course signage, varied distance options—and heartfelt community impact makes this more than a race; it’s a movement.
