Step Up Half Marathon, Relay & 5k

This year's race isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about uplifting the future of Storm Lake. We’re proud to support Ready Set Grow Learning Center, an organization dedicated to providing children with enriching, affordable opportunities for growth, development, and lifelong learning. Through age-appropriate programs designed to foster curiosity and confidence, Ready Set Grow ensures that children, from newborns to age five, have the foundation they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Your participation in the race directly contributes to this mission, helping fund essential childcare services, maintain safe and stimulating facilities, and support the dedicated educators who shape young minds every day. Every step you take—whether running, volunteering, or donating—helps invest in a brighter future for children in Storm Lake and surrounding communities. Your support fuels their ability to GROW, LEARN, and SUCCEED in an environment built to nurture their potential.

By joining us on race day, you’re doing more than setting a new personal best—you’re taking action to support a cause that transforms lives. Ready Set Grow prioritizes safety, quality education, and a community-centered approach, ensuring families have access to the resources they need. Let’s rally together, lace up our running shoes, and make an impact for the children who deserve every opportunity to flourish. Sign up, show up, and let’s run for a future that’s brighter for all!
