We are excited to announce the THRID annual Race4Justice. This event was designed by a women-led student group. Inspired by Breonna Taylor, the movement that followed her tragic loss, and the many other injustices we’ve seen and experienced, this race is about uniting our city to move forward. Proceeds from the event will be donated to local nonprofits doing justice work in the city. Stay tuned for announcements about who the Race4Justice will be supporting this year. This year's events are:
26 Lap Sprint Relay (8am)
5-person teams complete a relay of 26 total laps. The FASTEST team wins. Your team can divvy up the 26 laps however you all would like. This event is for our fastest and most competitive participants. Each of the 26 laps is dedicated to one year of Breonna Taylor's life.
26 Lap Walk/Jog/Run/Roll Relay (9:30)
Gather as many people as you can to complete the 26 laps. The BIGGEST team wins. Walk together as team and/or divvy up the laps.
