5K Run - Halifax Health Hospice



Community running events benefit many worthy causes. Whether you are permanently part of this community, you are here part of the year, or you are considering a relocation, participation in a benefit race is always rewarding and fun!

On Saturday, September 10th, 2016, Halifax Health - Hospice will celebrate the Spirit of Caregiving  with the 15th Annual 5K Run and Walk. This much anticipated event raises funds for the Family Caregiver Program, which provides one-on-one care for patients and entitles caregivers to much needed respite time.


The event brings out a wonderful mixture of the area's top competitive runners, as well as non-competitive runners and families. While competitive runners will be timed for placing and to receive points in the Daytona Running Series, the event also offers an opportunity for non-competitive runners, walkers, families and children to participate through the 5K walk/run, and 1/8-mile Kiddie Dash.

Funds raised from the 5K Run & Walk will benefit the Family Caregiver Program which plays an integral role in the health of both the patients and their caregivers.  This relief program provides one-on-one care for patients, allowing the family caregivers much needed respite time.  In turn, this helps the caregivers so they can help their loved ones through the end-of-life journey.
