See What It's All About

A glimpse of the finish-line celebration — and why this is one fall tradition you'll want to start with us.

Avoid Walking a 5K — For a Cause

The Fall Faux 5K is a unique, adult-friendly fundraising event benefiting the Washington Regional JB Hunt Transport Services Cancer Support Home at Washington Regional. Unlike traditional 5Ks, this event focuses on celebration and community rather than competition.

Since 1995, the Cancer Support Home has provided free overnight lodging, a wig and prosthesis boutique, financial aid, and patient navigation to cancer patients across Northwest Arkansas — 100% donor-funded, at no cost to families. Its 9,980 sq ft home was built through a $4.1 million community campaign anchored by a $1.5 million capstone gift from J.B. Hunt Transport Services.

Capped at just 150 participants, the Fall Faux 5K is designed to be more intimate than a typical Northwest Arkansas charity 5K. Amy and Daniel LeSieur guarantee a minimum $5,000 donation, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Washington Regional Medical Center Foundation in support of the Home.

Walk through crisp autumn air surrounded by beautiful fall colors, cross our festive finish line, and join the post-race celebration with food, drinks, and community spirit.

Limited to 150 participants — register early!
