2026 LBY Matcha Madness 5K Fundraiser Run/Walk
Welcome to the registration page for the Lao Baptist Youth 5K Fundraiser Run/Walk! 

Lao Baptist Youth (LBY) is a ministry empowering the second-generation Lao believers to serve the Lord by connecting them with other Christians, helping them grow in their faith, and challenging them to discover their gifts and honor God with their life. This is our fundraiser to help raise money for our annual Labor Day Retreat camp held every Labor Day weekend. This year LBY Labor Day Retreat will be hosted at Camp Paron on Friday, September 5th to Monday, September 7th!

We are partnering with Kairos Run Club for this event! 
Kairos Run Club is a Dallas-based run club founded in April 2025 with a vision to inspire people to take action in their lives and embrace the perfect moment—because the perfect time is always right now. We believe movement is more than miles; it’s a catalyst for growth, connection, and purpose. At Kairos, we value health, community, and above all, authenticity — encouraging one another to live fully, show up as we are, and pursue life with intention. 

We’re excited to bring together all runners of all skill levels for a fun day and fellowship. Whether you're a seasoned runner or new to the lifestyle, this event is for everyone! For those who have participated in official races before, please note that this is a casual run, so we won’t be using timing chips or bib technology. Below is all of the information that you will need, so please read through everything thoroughly.

Event Date and Time: Saturday, March 14th, 8:00am-12:00pm

*This is NOT a timed race just a fun run for the community to fundraise for camp!*
