M5K

We On A Mission (WOAM), in partnership with Councilmember Curtis Jones Jr.’s Office, invites you to join the MISSION 5K (M5K) a community Run • Walk • Jog event taking place on Saturday, November 1, 2025.

This event is more than a race, it’s a movement. Together, runners, walkers, joggers, families, youth, and community leaders will take a stand against gun violence while promoting health, wellness, and unity across Philadelphia.

Participants will enjoy:

• 🏃 A 5K run/walk/jog along a scenic, closed-street course on West River Drive to Falls Bridge and back.
• 💪 Fitness instructors leading energizing warm-ups.
• 🎤 Guest speakers raising awareness about gun-violence prevention and community wellness.
• 🎶 Music, vendors, hydration stations, and more.

The MISSION 5K is designed to raise awareness of the impact of gun violence on our youth and families, while also encouraging positive outlets through fitness, wellness, and personal development. Together, we can create a unifying citywide event that inspires healthier, safer paths forward.
