2027 The First Step 5K

Start the new year by taking the first step with a purpose! Join us in Bedford, Indiana, for the 2027 First Step 5K Run & Walk, a New Year’s tradition that brings our community together for a great cause.

Proceeds from the event support Bertha’s Mission, a local organization dedicated to feeding those in need and helping fight hunger in our community. Whether you’re an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for a meaningful way to start the year, everyone is welcome to participate.

Every registration, step, and mile helps Bertha’s Mission continue serving our neighbors throughout Bedford and Lawrence County.

Take the first step. Make it count.
