Regardless of geography,
Run together. Run with purpose.
How does the 5K run work? After registration, participants receive a race shirt and all pertinent information about the event. Participants may run or walk a 5K with a locally organized group, with family/friends, or on their own. Please reach out to jeanna@lightfromlight.me if you’d like to be connected to a locally-organized group – so far, there will be groups gathering in Atlanta and in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Participants will enter their times and photos into a race results website. Prizes will be mailed to winners within various race categories.
Is September 21st the only time that participants will be walking or running? In short, no! We will ask participants to consider joining the Light from Light community in a 5K on the morning of September 21st in an act of solidarity; however, we will accept “official” times that are submitted anytime between September 14-22.
What will the 5K benefit? All proceeds from this 5K will benefit Light from Light, a nonprofit organization that strengthens the foundations of progress in Haitian communities living with extraordinary poverty and chaos. We walk and work alongside proven leaders at our sister organization, Lespwa Timoun “Hope for Children” Clinic, empowering them to build and sustain long-lasting change.
