Get Your Team Together for the RACE 4 JUSTICE
Race4Justice is excited to announce the FIFTH annual Race4Justice on June 6th. This event was designed by a women-led student group. Inspired by Breonna Taylor, the movement that followed her tragic loss, and the many other injustices we’ve seen and experienced, this race is about uniting our city to move forward. Proceeds from the event will be donated to nonprofits doing justice work in the city and world. This year's events are listed below.
26 Lap Walk/Jog/Run/Roll Relay (9:30)
Each of the 26 laps is dedicated to one year of Breonna Taylor's life. We want everyone in our community to form a team and show up for justice. This event is super accessible. You can run, jog, walk, roll.... And your team can divide up the laps however you want. Go at any pace you want and take as many breaks as you need!! This event is about showing your support for justice and getting as many people as possible to raise money for our organizations. Registration for this event is priced individually. Each person who joins your team will pay the individual registration price.
1.3 Individual Run/Walk (9:30)
Join them solo and complete 5 laps (1.3 miles) however you want to run, walk, jog, roll... If you're able, we encourage everyone to try to create a team to bring in more people!! But, we're happy for anyone who wants to show up to support! Breonna Taylor's life was taken on March 13th.
Sprint Relays
This year, they are offering three relays for our sprinters. These are for people who want to run fast! A sprint relay must have 4 people. It costs $80 to register your full relay team. The registration fee for this event is per team. Each person must register individually, but relay members will not pay for registration after the first person has paid.
Virtual MOVEment
Move with them in solidarity, even if you can't be there in person. You don't have to run, but we hope you will find a movement that honors our symbolism. Run/walk/roll for 26 minutes, 26 miles, 5 blocks, 1.3 miles...swim 26 laps...do 26 minutes on the treadmill...bike for 5 miles....meditate for 26 minutes... or anything you can think of!!
It's not just a race...it's a celebration!!!
During the race, you will also hear speakers and see videos depicting our journey, highlighting the work of our non-profit partners. The day will also include a celebration of justice with speakers, music, and entertainment. There will be booths from local justice organizations, offering even more opportunities for you to engage in justice work. We will also enjoy the beautiful facilities at the Norton Sports and Learning Complex, including rock climbing and bowling. Food trucks and vendors will be on-site. It will be great to celebrate, move, and act together.
We want our city to run, march, walk, and dance as we move forward. Together. For Justice.
