We are looking forward to hosting you this Sunday, Oct 22nd in Huntington Beach for the annual Hop, Skip & Splash 5k, brought to you by the Jasper Ray Foundation and the Orange County Drowning Prevention Coalition! 

Our goal is to raise funds to support drowning prevention efforts while spreading awareness to keep kids and families safe in Orange County! Thank you for taking the time to fundraise for this important issue, we couldn’t do it without you!

  • Our 5k will officially start at 8am on Sunday, October 22.
  • Registration will open at 7:30
  • Parking is $15. You should park off of PCH and Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach.  Make an immediate right after entering the parking lot and look for our volunteers to show you the way!

We will have some wonderful booths that will be giving out SWAG, a pancake breakfast donated by the Huntington Beach Firefighters Association, and a live lifeguard band to entertain you during the event. This event is not a timed race and participants will be back by 9am to enjoy breakfast, music, opportunity drawings and visit our safety booths.

The Jasper Ray Foundation will be hosting a run on Sunday, October 22, 2023 from 8am-11am at Huntington Beach. (This is a fun run and it will not be timed. There will not be official results at the end of the race.)

Drowning is still the number one cause of death amongst small children. With swim lessons, children proportionally reduce their risk of drowning. This event will bring together our community to raise awareness around drowning prevention.

It’s important to note, not all communities have equal access to life saving swim and water competency education. Funds raised will support reaching underesourced OC families who would otherwise not have access to these resources.
