The Promise 5K is an annual event held in effort to raise funds and awareness for the work of Children of the Promise in Northern Haiti. This year, the 5th Annual Promise 5K will be held at Robbins Island Park in Willmar, Minnesota and Orange City, Iowa!

The route follows beautiful walking trails through the park and around Willmar Lake. In addition to the great outdoors, enjoy a slice of pie at the Pie-K, stick around to hear more about what’s happening in Haiti, and browse Haitian-made artwork.

EVENT: BENSKY’S RACE: KIDS FUN RUN
The Kids Fun Run will be held prior to the Promise 5K at Robbins Island Regional Park. The Kids Fun Run is named in honor of a boy named Bensky.
Bensky lived much of his life at COTP, and during that time, he found his purpose. Even though he couldn’t walk, he lived a life of motion and impact.
Bensky tragically passed away in 2021. His life left a mark on many!

Remember – if you purchase a race t-shirt, another will be purchased for our annual Kids Fun Run in Haiti too!

Open to ages 10 and under.
Start Time: 9:45am
