Sancta Clara Monastery Nun Run

Come Join the 5th Annual Sancta Clara Nun Run! October 18, 2025 The 5K will run through the neighboring streets, the Middlebranch trail and finally through the monastery grounds with many cheering nuns! The awards ceremony with refreshments and food will follow at St. George's reception hall. We have a shirt only option for those who cannot run or walk the course but still would like to support the Poor Clares sisters. Strollers are welcome and a free kids fun run starts at 8:40 followed by the 5K at 9:00. All proceeds will benefit The Sancta Clara Monastery & it's renovations. Donations can be made by going to www.poorclares.org. Donations can also be made through the donate button on the registration page.
