Mitchell Thorp Foundation Warrior Spirit 5K Run/Walk & Family Festival

Come join us for the most inspirational 5K run/walk in the region. On Saturday, February 1^st. 2025, Carlsbad and the surrounding San Diego County communities will come together to celebrate the 16^th Annual Mitchell Thorp Foundation Warrior Spirit 5K Run/Walk and Family Festival at Poinsettia Park, Carlsbad. The event will be supporting families whose children are suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders. For 16 years, the community has encouraged and supported our local critically ill children and their families by showing them they are not alone with bringing hope and a warrior spirit.

As a participant you will receive a branded T-shirt and finishing medal. Opening ceremonies, you have the chance to see a skydiving demonstration, live bands, a fun DJ, warm up with a fitness team, join a hula-a-hoop contest, browse vendors, experience healing mini ponies, play games, inflatable jumpers and slides and much more. Prizes will be awarded for largest team and fundraiser, along with prizes for the best runners for men and women in multiple divisions.

The annual event is Mitchell Thorp Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year, providing the support needed to increase the number of families and children saved. Families face 24/7 care and hardship when their child is diagnosed with a critical disease. The stress will test these families beyond their endurance, often bankrupting them financially, emotionally, and physically. Join us in helping children fighting for their tomorrows.
