About the STEPS OF LOVE - Pregnancy & Infant Loss Memorial Event (5K Run / 1 Mile Walk)
The course runs through Taha-Zouka Park, starting and finishing near the softball complex. The run follows a road and path layout through the park, while a shorter walk option covers a portion of the same ground. A kids fun run takes place on a grass course nearby. Custom yard signs bearing babies' names are placed along the route by loss parents.
The afternoon begins with welcome remarks and team recognition before the run goes off, with the walk and kids run following later. Food trucks and live music are set up at the park for the duration. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available for those who cannot make it to Norfolk.
