Race Description

Join Advocates on Sunday, May 5, 2024 for our 5k and 1 mile run, walk, or roll to celebrate all abilities. Help spread the message that a person with any challenge or disability is a person, not a diagnosis. See the person! See the individual! See me!

Bring the whole family! Family-friendly activities include a fun run, face painting, balloon animals, games, and more. Refreshments will be provided.

This year’s race will include prizes for both individuals and teams. Individual prizes include those for overall top finishers (male, female, and non-binary), and top finishers in the following age categories: 12 and under; 13-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; and 60+.

There will be FOUR team prizes this year!
