Amani Center 17th Annual Race Against Child Abuse
Lace up your running shoes and tie on your superhero cape for the 17th Annual Race Against Child Abuse!
Saturday, April 26, 2025
St. Helens, Oregon
Last Day to Guarantee a Race T-Shirt: Sunday, March 16
Taking steps to help end child abuse!
Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual runner or just looking for a fun, family activity, all ages and ability levels are welcome! Pick for your favorite course: 10K, 5K or the 1 Mile Family Fun Walk.
Overcoming child abuse and neglect is a difficult process because the road to healing means children must name and revisit the painful things that were done to them. This journey is made easier when children and those who are helping them know they aren’t walking alone.
Invite your friends, family or coworkers to start training now for the 2025 Race Against Child Abuse and be a superhero for kids!
IN PERSON RACE
RACE COURSE CHANGES (as of 3/10) FOR 2025
The Amani Center was very excited to unveil new routes for the 2025 race on McNulty Rd and had put a great deal of effort into planning them. However, due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, we have made the decision to borrow the established Reindeer Run routes that start and finish at Foursquare Church for our 2025 race. Participant safety is our top priority. After careful consideration we determined that utilizing the Reindeer Run routes would ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
THANK YOU, Columbia River Foursquare Church, in St. Helens for letting us borrow their annual Reindeer Run race courses for our 2025 Race Against Child Abuse on April 26.
Race Routes Will Be Time Chipped by Uberthon
Wear your bib (with its attached RFID timing chip) chest high to ensure your start and finish times are marked. Check the website after the race to find your finish time.
