Sam's Love

Sam's Love is a fundraising race held at Forsythe Park in Monroe, Louisiana. The event offers three options: a timed 5K and a 10K (both timed by McDuffie Timing) and a not-timed 1-Mile Fun Run. The race supports a nonprofit that provides free baby books to families experiencing stillbirth or pregnancy loss, helping improve bereavement care and offering a keepsake for families.

Proceeds fund the distribution of Sam's Love books to more than 25 organizations nationwide. The atmosphere is community-focused and family-friendly, with options for different paces and a park setting. It is the organization’s third 5K.

All funds stay local. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
