Take the first step…
Since 2008, Lawndale Christian Health Center and Lawndale Christian Fitness Center have hosted the Lawndale 5K walk/run to promote wellness in the community and bring people together for a day of fun. The event has become a fixture on the West Side, and this year we are excited to host the 17th annual race on Saturday, September 27th, 2025!
Our 2025 theme is ‘Take the First Step’. Every goal, good habit, and forward movement starts with one deliberate step in the right direction. We believe this 5K can be your first step toward a more active lifestyle, your first step to feel more connected to the Lawndale community, your first step toward pushing yourself a little harder, and much more.
We draw inspiration from James 1:4 which says, “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Together, we can take the first step and keep going to the finish line.

More Than a Race
The Mission
As a part of the Lawndale Christian family, Lawndale Christian Fitness Center shares the mission to show and share the love of Jesus in Lawndale and the neighboring communities. Through our fitness center, we promote healthy living that encompasses more than just physical fitness. We strive to be a community that strengthens and equips one another to be active, to be Spirit-filled, and to improve overall quality of life.
The proceeds of the Lawndale 5K are used to support our FitnessRx program, which provides free memberships for LCHC patients with a chronic illness. Together we build a stronger community one step, jog, and sprint at a time.
