EVERY PARTICIPANT IN THIS RACE WILL RECEIVE A T-SHIRT SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR DOOR, AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, AS A TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION FOR YOUR SUPPORT. ADDITIONALLY, EACH RUNNER WILL RECEIVE A PERSONALIZED BIB VIA EMAIL, ALLOWING YOU TO PROUDLY DISPLAY YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE.

WONDERING ABOUT HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE!

CAN I WALK MY RACE? ABSOLUTELY YES!
CAN I RUN MY RACE? OF COURSE!
CAN I MARCH MY RACE? YES, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

BUT ONE THING IS CLEAR: CAN I REMAIN SILENT? THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING NO. SILENCE IS VIOLENCE, AND WE MUST RAISE OUR VOICES IN UNISON TO ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY.

LETS COME TOGETHER FOR A CHANGE! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY, TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY, AND TO AMPLIFY THE MESSAGE THAT WE WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY. WHETHER YOURE RUNNING, WALKING, OR MARCHING, LET YOUR FOOTSTEPS BE HEARD. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND PAVE THE WAY FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. SIGN UP NOW AND BE PART OF THIS CRUCIAL MOVEMENT!
