Event Description
Strides for Safety 5K Run/Walk is a family-friendly, timed 5K benefiting the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT), an organization that help millions of families navigate life-threatening food allergies and asthma every day.
Over 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, and allergic reactions send someone to the emergency room every 3 minutes. Funds raised through this event will support education, research, advocacy, and resources that help keep kids safe in their communities.
The scenic 3.1-mile course winds through Winton Woods Park, featuring a beautiful lake, wooded trails, and spring scenery. This event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, including families, kids, and runners.
What makes Strides for Safety unique is its commitment to inclusion and safety. Participants can enjoy allergen-friendly food options, a welcoming environment, and a mission rooted in real impact. Thanks to our generous sponsors, the post-race celebration includes music, family games, raffle baskets, prizes, and a Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck.
Official Strides for Safety 5K t-shirts will be available for purchase, and awards will be given to the top three finishers, along with a special award for the most spirited food allergy family.
Join us as we turn strides into safety; every step helps protect children and families affected by food allergies!

The Story Behind Strides for Safety
My name is Jane Holbrook, I’m a high school junior, I have food allergies and I am the founder of the "Strides for Safety" fundraiser. I truly hope you’ll consider supporting.
On April 25, I will be hosting the Strides for Safety 5K Run/Walk at Winton Woods Park. This event is deeply personal to me. Growing up with severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts, I’ve learned how critical education, advocacy, and community support are. With hard work, the support of my family and friends, and resources like FAACT, I’ve been able to pursue my goals and thrive as both a student and an athlete.
I created Strides for Safety to raise awareness and funds for food allergy education, advocacy, and research. Proceeds from the event benefit the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT)—a national organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families through education, advocacy, summer camps, and funding critical research. Having participated in FAACT’s summer allergy camp since second grade—and now serving as a camp counselor—I have experienced firsthand the community and support FAACT creates.
This 5K is my way of giving back to the organizations and community that have supported me throughout my journey.
