About the Run for Awareness: Domestic Violence Awareness 5K
The race starts and ends at the Temple to Music in Pawtucket, a setting that gives the morning a grounded, purposeful feel. The course is a out-and-back or loop returning to the same landmark, and the pace of the crowd skews toward participation over speed. Sojourner House, a local survivor-support organization, has a presence at the event.
There is no dedicated warm-up or pre-race expo, but the start area includes information on local domestic violence resources and survivor support. Expect a post-race gathering around the Temple to Music where participants can connect with community organizations on-site.
