About this race
Light The Way 5k
December 5, 2026
You Are Always the Light Within Uncertainty.
Every journey has moments of darkness.
Moments when the path ahead feels unclear, hope feels distant, and the next step seems impossible to find.
But even in those moments, one truth remains:
The light has always been within you.
Light The Way 5K is the final chapter of the Mind Space Running Series, celebrating resilience, hope, and the courage to keep moving forward. After learning to slow down, breathe, and face the challenges within, this final race reminds us that healing isn't about having all the answers, it's about continuing to take one step at a time.
Whether you're celebrating your own journey, honoring someone else's, or simply choosing to show up for yourself, every participant becomes part of something bigger: a community lighting the way together.
You are never walking alone.
Presented by Mind Space Running and powered by Puro956 Racing.
