Miss Utah 2025 Hosts Community 5K to Combat Hunger
Lehi, UT – On August 9, 2025, Miss Utah 2025 Jordyn Bristol hosted a successful 5K fundraiser at Lehi Sports Park aimed at battling food insecurity in Utah. The event, dubbed the "Outnumber Hunger" 5K, attracted around 30 participants, combining Bristol’s passion for running with her commitment to reduce hunger in the state.
“Food insecurity is a pressing issue, and I’m dedicated to making a difference,” Bristol said. The fundraiser benefitted Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry, with Bristol estimating around $1,100 raised in support of families in need.
Among the participants was former Miss Lehi, Aria Conran, who expressed her admiration for Bristol’s advocacy. “There are many in Utah facing food insecurity, and it’s inspiring to see her leading this cause,” said Conran, who is also gearing up to compete in the Miss Universe pageant promoting financial wellness.
Bristol shared a poignant story from her time volunteering at Tabitha’s Way. She recounted meeting a mother of three who had lost her husband to COVID-19, illustrating the harsh realities many families face. According to the Utah Food Bank, 1 in 6 children in the state experience hunger.
Kara Smith from Tabitha’s Way noted the significance of community events like the 5K, stating that they not only raise funds for food but also raise awareness of available resources. “Today was fun and rewarding, seeing the smiles on the children’s faces,” she remarked.
Bristol emphasizes community involvement as vital in the fight against hunger, and she hopes to extend her advocacy on a national scale as she prepares to represent Utah at the Miss America pageant in September.
