Our Roots Run Deep 5k To Be Held January 9

Hope Community invites runners, walkers and local families to the third annual Our Roots Run Deep 5K on January 9, 2027. Starting and ending at the historic Anna T. Jeanes School property in Fairhope South, the event will kick off at 8 a.m. Proceeds will directly support Hope Community’s ongoing efforts to revitalize the Anna T. Jeanes site into a thriving community center. Future plans for the grounds include a teaching farm, a community kitchen, outdoor gardens and walking paths. Participants are invited to stay after crossing the finish line for refreshments, music by Fairhope South’s own Demetrius “DJ Meat” Martin, and an awards ceremony hosted by longtime Hope Community supporter Cecil Christenberry. Early-bird registration is $25 per person through December 4. Standard registration is $35 from December 5 through race day morning.
