The Honest Miles 5K

come as you are. leave feeling seen.

This isn't a race to finish fast. It's a mile built one honest conversation at a time, with a finish line that waits for every single person to cross it.

Regular: $30

Jan 1st, 2027 TBD All paces welcome

Race day in

It's race day.

  • “How are you… really?”
  • “What’s something you’ve been carrying that no one knows?”
  • “What’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?”
  • “Who helped you get here?”
  • “Thank you for showing up.”

This isn't just a 5K

Every touchpoint is honest, not just the messaging

We didn't want people to just attend a 5K. We wanted them to feel like they experienced the honest miles: the word honest showing up in the mile markers, the finish line, the check in, and the walk to the car after. Nothing about this day is here to look good in a photo. It's here to make someone feel seen.

“How does this make someone feel seen?”

Every activation, sign, vendor, and takeaway on this course answers that question, or it doesn't make the course.

The Course

Every mile is a conversation

Instead of just passing a marker, every mile asks you something. You don't have to answer out loud. You just have to sit with it for a minute.

  1. Mile1

    Check In

    “How are you… really?”

  2. Mile2

    Sit With It

    “What’s something you’ve been carrying that no one knows?”

  3. Mile3

    Give Yourself Credit

    “What’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?”

  4. Mile4

    Remember Your People

    “Who helped you get here?”

  5. Finish

    The Last Word

    “Thank you for showing up.”

Along The Way

Stations built into the story

Even the vendors are part of the experience, not just tables you walk past.

The Finish

Finish together

Whether it took twenty minutes or a full hour, the finish line says the same thing to everyone who crosses it: you're not leaving alone, and you weren't running alone either. No one packs up early. No one gets an empty finish chute. The atmosphere stays until the very last person comes through, because that's the whole point.

The Medal

One medal, every pace

Every participant gets the same medal, no matter how fast or slow they crossed the line. It was never about speed. It's about the decision to show up, for yourself, and for someone else who needed to see you there.

Mile Break

Refresh Station

Fresh juice to keep you moving, right when you need it most.

Mile Break

Reset Station

A stretch and a breath before the next mile asks you something new.

Mile Break

Recharge Station

Matcha and a minute to yourself before you keep going.

Resource tables are set up the same way: not clinical, not a pamphlet handoff. Just a space to keep the conversation going if you want to.

Before You Run

The Honest Card

At registration, every participant is invited to anonymously answer one prompt on an Honest Card. No names, no pressure, just whatever's true that day. It's the first half of a pair: what you write now, and what you'll add again at the finish line on the Honest Check-In. Both live together on the Honesty Wall for anyone to read.

  • “Today I'm showing up because…”
  • “Lately I've been feeling…”
  • “I'm choosing myself today because…”
  • “Today I needed this because…”

By The End

The Honest Check-In

At the finish, everyone adds one word for how they feel now, and one word for how they felt when they arrived. Alongside the Honest Cards from registration, it becomes the Honesty Wall: a picture of what the whole community carried in, and what they carried out.

Arrived feeling

  • heavy
  • tired
  • unseen
  • anxious
  • numb

Left feeling

  • seen
  • lighter
  • proud
  • connected
  • strong

Good To Know

Questions, answered honestly

Do I have to be fast?

No. All paces welcome. Whether it takes twenty minutes or a full hour, the finish line waits for every single person to cross it, and every participant gets the same medal.

How long is the course?

3.1 miles (5.0 km). Every mile asks you something. You don’t have to answer out loud.

What is the Honest Card?

When you register you’re invited to anonymously answer one prompt. It’s optional, it’s shown on the Honesty Wall, and it’s never linked to your name.

Can I register someone under 18?

Yes. Check the under 18 box on the registration form and a parent or guardian signs the waiver.

Can I run with a team?

Yes. Add a team name when you register (it’s optional) and your team shows up together on the Teams page.

What do I need at check-in?

Your confirmation email includes your check-in code. Show it on your phone or printed, and we’ll scan or look it up.

Can I get a refund?

Registration is final: we don’t offer refunds, transfers, or deferrals simply because plans changed. We do make exceptions case by case, for example a documented medical emergency, or if we cancel or significantly change the event. If we cancel entirely, you choose a full refund or roll your registration forward to the next race. Read the full refund policy.

Can I help without running?

Yes. Volunteers run the Refresh, Reset and Recharge stations, marshal the course and help with packet pickup. Pick a role and we’ll follow up with details.

Still wondering about something? Ask us anything.

See you at the start

Come as you are

This won't feel like another 5K. It'll feel like something you remember long after you leave.
