Hopefest 5k

Join us for the Hopefest 5K on March 21, 2026, at the Youngsville Sports Complex SLEMCO Amphitheatre in Lafayette, Louisiana. This charity race supports special needs children through the STM Options Program with a 5K run and 1-mile fun run. All ages and levels of runners are welcome to participate in this heartwarming event starting at 9 AM. This year, we introduce a team challenge where you can form a run/walk team for discounted registration. Register early for just $30 until March 19, 2025, and stay for the post-race music festival featuring local cuisine and activities for kids. Don't miss this chance to support a great cause and enjoy a day of community spirit and fun in Youngsville!
