We are excited to partner with Fleet Feet Summit for this year’s Love & Legacy 5K, bringing together two community organizations that share a passion for health, connection, and helping people stay active.
As part of the partnership, Fleet Feet Summit will provide the prizes for the race’s overall male and female champions. Each winner will receive a $250 Fleet Feet gift certificate, valid through July 1 — perfect for gearing up with the footwear and performance apparel to power their next run.
Fleet Feet will also host the official Love & Legacy 5K packet pickup at their Summit store on Thursday, April 30 from 4:30–6:45 p.m. Participants can pick up their race materials, check out the latest running gear, and connect with fellow runners as excitement builds for race day.
Fleet Feet’s expert team will help participants find the right footwear and gear for their training, ensuring comfort, support, and confidence as you prepare for race day. Whether you’re brand new to running or taking on your first 5K, getting properly fitted is a great first step.
This event also connects participants with Fleet Feet’s No Boundaries beginner training program, which helps new runners safely build up to the Love & Legacy 5K with a supportive plan and coaching.
Stop by, get fitted, and take the first step toward crossing the Love & Legacy 5K finish line.

For those looking to get race-ready, Fleet Feet Summit will offer a six-week Love & Legacy 5K training program designed for runners who can already run or run/walk about 1.5 miles. Led by a dedicated run coach, the program blends virtual guidance with select in-person workouts, giving participants the structure, motivation, and community support to build endurance and confidence heading into race day. The program will be offered at $75 per participant.
This program pairs perfectly with our Summit Area YMCA Couch to 5K training plan, which helps beginners take their first steps toward completing a 5K. Together, the two training opportunities create a welcoming path for runners of all experience levels — whether someone is starting from scratch or looking to elevate their performance and arrive at the starting line feeling strong.
Beyond race day, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting wellness throughout the Summit community. We’re excited to work alongside Fleet Feet Summit to grow this collaboration through cross-promotion and a stronger presence in each other’s spaces, creating even more opportunities for our community to move, train, and connect.
More details about training opportunities, packet pickup, and the Love & Legacy 5K will be shared soon. We look forward to seeing our community come together as race day approaches.
