Light the Way 5K: Walk On, Rock On for Mental Wellness
Presented by The Evie Effect & True Vine Brewing Company


This year, we’ve partnered with True Vine Brewing Company to make Light the Way 5K even bigger and better! This event isn’t just a run—it’s a movement to shine a light on mental wellness, suicide prevention, and community support. Together, we’re fostering hope, awareness, and resiliency while making meaningful connections.


More Than a Run—An Experience That Inspires


After crossing the finish line, stay for live music and an inspiring speaker session featuring:
🎸 12 Miles South (Southern Rock/Covers)

🎸 Six String Strays (Alt-Country/Indie Folk)

🎤 Featured Speaker: Romereo Brown, founder of Weird & Different

As seen on Shark Tank, Romereo turned his personal struggles into a movement, building his brand to inspire strength, self-expression, and resiliency.


🏆 Prizes for the Top 3 Kid’s Dash & 5K Finishers will be awarded on stage after the run!

💪 Stretch Zone will be on-site offering a pre-run stretch area to help participants warm up.

🏥 Athletic Trainers from CHRISTUS will provide free medical care at their event tent.


Runner Perks
🏅 Finisher Medals for the first 250 5K finishers & all Kid’s Dash participants
🍻 Drink Coupon redeemable at True Vine Brewing Company for a beer or non-alcoholic beverage
✨ Glow-in-the-Dark Cup (sponsored by Workout Anytime)—given at the finish line with drink tickets & medals


Eats & Community Fun
🍕 Come hungry! Local food trucks & Sola Bread will be on-site serving up delicious eats.
🎪 Explore sponsor & nonprofit booths to connect with organizations dedicated to mental health and well-being.
