FNBRF Shoe Some Love 5K & Kid's Fun Run

Register for our 16th Annual FNBRF 5k
With nearly 50 sponsorships from community partners and an average of 250 participants, the Shoe Some Love FNBRF 5K and Kids Run is a growing annual event for the FNBRF team.

Proceeds from the race help purchase tennis shoes for local kids in need in the River Falls and Prescott communities. Over the past eight years, more than 4,000 pairs of shoes and socks have been donated, ensuring children start the school year with confidence.

Each year, the Shoe Some Love FNBRF 5K Committee collaborates with school representatives to provide children with brand-name athletic shoes—helping to remove one of the most visible signs of poverty. These shoes give kids the ability to attend school comfortably, ready to learn and play with dignity.

By participating in the Shoe Some Love FNBRF 5K, you’re helping local kids take a step in the right direction for a successful school year.
