7th Annual Moccasin 5K Run/Walk for Foster Care Awareness
2026-05-09 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Denver) | UT
Join us for the 7th Annual Moccasin 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in beautiful White Mesa, Utah. Support our mission to provide loving Native homes for Native children.
Can’t make it in person? Participate virtually! Run or walk a 5K in your own community to show your support. Moccasins are optional, but your commitment is essential.
Why this matters: Since 2019, the Moccasin 5K has raised crucial awareness about the need for Native American foster parents. Keeping Native children within their communities ensures they stay connected to their culture, history, language, and identity.
All participants are welcome – this event is FREE!
Help us ensure Native children in foster care stay connected to their heritage. Your donations fund the Cedar Project, delivering culturally relevant activity kits. Please consider adding a donation to your registration.
Highlights:

Free t-shirts for the first 75 in-person registrants.
Live music by DJ Neon Nativez.

Location: White Mesa is located at 37°28′06″N 109°28′03″W.
Proudly sponsored by: Utah Foster Care, Utah Division of Indian Affairs, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.
