Jonesboro laced up its running shoes in a big way this weekend, as the 30th Annual Hytrol 5K/10K drew a record number of participants and raised $7,000 for the Jonesboro Church Health Center — a milestone that organizers and supporters are celebrating with well-deserved pride.

The race, now in its third decade, has become one of the most beloved annual traditions in the community. This year’s edition topped previous turnout records, reflecting just how deeply the event has taken root in the hearts of local runners, walkers, and volunteers. The funds raised will go directly to the Jonesboro Church Health Center, an organization dedicated to serving residents in need of medical care.

Reaching the 30-year mark is no small feat for any community event, and the record attendance this year speaks to the sustained enthusiasm Jonesboro residents have shown for both the race itself and the cause it supports. Whether participants crossed the finish line chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the community spirit, the event brought neighbors together in a spirit of health, generosity, and shared purpose.

The Jonesboro Church Health Center provides vital health services to those who might otherwise go without, making every dollar raised a meaningful contribution to the well-being of the broader community. With $7,000 added to its coffers thanks to this year’s race, the center is better positioned to continue that important work heading into the new year.

Congratulations to the organizers, sponsors — including Hytrol — volunteers, and every runner and walker who made the 30th Annual 5K/10K a record-breaking success. Here’s to many more miles and many more years of making a difference in Jonesboro.
