Join us for the 2025 Ozarks Teen Challenge Run for Hope Family 5K!
Saturday, July 19th at 8:00 AM Branson Landing, 100 Branson Landing, Branson, MO
We invite you to run or walk with the students and families of Ozarks Teen Challenge as we fight teen addiction and Run for Hope!
The Run for Hope Family 5K is a powerful event where every participant runs or walks with a purpose: to support those in recovery, to support loved ones battling addiction, or to honor those lost to addiction. All proceeds directly benefit our Student Scholarship Fund, which is crucial to our mission of helping families of all income levels enroll their sons. This fund makes hope a reality for the many families who reach out to us for help each month.

The Cause
In 2014, Ozarks Teen Challenge students and staff completed the Bass Pro Half-Marathon, exemplifying the values of hard work, dedication, and teamwork. Building on this success, students have since conquered the Little Rock Half and Full Marathons. The Run for Hope 5K, taking place on July 19, 2025, extends this spirit of accomplishment to the wider Ozarks community, uniting us in the fight against addiction and supporting current and future students.
All proceeds from the Run for Hope 5K will directly support the construction of a new Home of Hope dormitory. This expansion will nearly double our capacity, enabling us to house 48 students and 6 additional staff members, offering hope to even more families battling teen addiction. Your participation directly impacts lives and makes a tangible difference in our community. Join us as "One Team" with "One Dream" and become "Finishers!"
