About the Thrive Empowerment Center - Thrive 5k Walk-Run
The course runs through Devou Park, which gives the route some scenery to move through. The race is tied to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the cause is present in the atmosphere rather than incidental to it. Before the start, a community fair sets up so people can connect with local organizations working on violence prevention and related services.
Strollers are welcome on the course. The start area hosts the fair, so there is something to take in before the gun goes off. Post-race awards go out across walker and runner categories, with separate recognition for multiple gender categories.
