Help Them Stay 5K

King’s Ranch Ministries

The First Annual Help Them Stay 5K will be held in Jonesboro, Arkansas on October 11, 2025. This event is presented by Cooper Land and Development.

This event is hosted by King’s Ranch Ministries, a Center for Childhood Trauma Recovery and 501c3 nonprofit organization located in Jonesboro, AR. Every step of this race will help to further the mission of King’s Ranch Ministries to help children from traumatic beginnings stay in loving, forever homes.

The race includes chipped race timing, a race shirt, water stations, and a fun event for the entire family. Both walkers and runners are encouraged! Strollers are welcome as well!

NOTE: We will place our final order for race shirts early on September 12. To be guaranteed a race shirt in your desired size, we encourage you to sign up for the race by midnight on Sunday, September 11. We will order a few extra shirts for those who register after that date, but we will have to guesstimate what sizes we need.

We will have staggered start times for runners and walkers so that everyone is able to participate. Runners will start at 8:30AM – Walkers at 8:35!

We encourage you to register early for the best pricing. Spots are limited.

The event will take place at Craighead Forest Park Pavilion 1.

Race-day packet pickup will be held near the race start/finish line at the event, please arrive between 7:30AM-8AM to pick up your packet.
