The Allyson Whitney Foundation Peace. Love. Run. Reunion 5K Returns: The Run You Love Is Back!

On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Peace. Love. Run. Reunion 5K will once again bring together runners, walkers, families, survivors, supporters, and friends for a day filled with community, compassion, and purpose. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Kauneonga Lake, this reunion is more than the return of a race—it’s the return of a tradition that has connected and inspired our community for years.

For many, the Allyson Whitney Foundation 5K was a cornerstone event. Since the last race in 2019, supporters have continued to ask one question:

“When is the 5K coming back?”

The answer is finally here.

More Than Miles

The Peace. Love. Run. Reunion 5K celebrates everything that makes the Allyson Whitney Foundation special—hope, perseverance, and the power of community. Whether you’re chasing a personal record, pushing a stroller, walking with friends, or honoring someone you love, every step taken support young adults facing rare cancers. Proceeds help fund the Foundation’s Life Interrupted Grants, Oncofertility Support, Research and more; providing direct financial assistance when patients need it most.

A Reunion Worth Celebrating

This year’s event embraces the spirit of reunion. It’s a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new supporters, and celebrate the incredible impact made possible through the AWF family. Expect peace-and-love vibes, smiles at every mile, and the kind of energy that reminds us why this event has been so deeply missed.

Join the Comeback

The return of the Peace. Love. Run. Reunion 5K is a testament to the strength of our community and the enduring legacy of Allyson Whitney Strong. Together, we’ve reached over $1 million in giving and provided hope to hundreds of young adults navigating cancer. Now, it’s time to lace up once again and continue that mission—one mile at a time.
