About the 31st Annual 5K Walk-Run
The course runs through Watkins Park, and the morning includes live Zumba and health vendors alongside the race itself. The event is tied to a local sorority chapter and raises money for mental health awareness and childhood hunger programs in the area. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available.
