Event Overview
The Ascent 5K is a run, walk, or roll event hosted by The Phoenix Journey, a local nonprofit dedicated to empowering those with autoimmune diseases to change and sustain a new lifestyle in order to improve their current state of disease one person at a time.
This event isn’t just a race, it’s a movement of resilience, community, and hope. This year, to make it extra special, we are encouraging group participants to come rocking their best costumes.

We invite you, your family, and your community to join us for an unforgettable day of hope, movement, and unity. Every step makes a difference.
With gratitude,
~ The Phoenix Journey Team
