The 32nd Annual 5K for Health directly benefits Cass Community Health Foundation's safety net dental clinic, Cass County Dental Clinic. The clinic treats thousands of children and teens who otherwise couldn't afford dental care at its two locations in Belton, Missouri and Harrisonville, Missouri each year. In 2025, we opened a brand-new, state-of-the-art clinic in Belton that has increased access for quality, compassionate dental care — which means more smiles to support! Your participantion in the 5K for Health ensures these extra smiles stay healthy! Help us create smiles in Cass County and the surrounding area!
Our 5K begins and ends at Southwick Stadium in Belton, Missouri and circles the beautiful Cleveland Lake. After the race, stick around to enjoy the 5K Health Fair, complete with all-you-can-eat Chris Cakes, music, activities, and prizes!
