Join us on Friday, October 3rd, 2025 for The Darkest Night 4K!

The event will take place at Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids. This event is a family-friendly luminary-lit run and walk. We will kick off the night with games and activities for all ages, including face painting, decorating a luminary, glow station, and more! There will be drawings and awards for the largest team, most fundraised, and more! The goal of the event is to raise awareness of what youth who are homeless may experience when the darkness of night sets in. Many are staying in shelters, sleeping on the streets or in their cars, and couch-hopping. HOPE 4 Youth ensures all youth feel safe, valued, and supported while reaching their full potential. This begins with meeting their basic needs and leads to supporting them with the resources and skills needed to find and keep stable housing. 

Join us in raising awareness of youth homelessness and critical funds so they never have to experience it again.

Stay tuned for more information in the months leading up to this event!
