Organiser's description

ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Race for P.E.A.C.E. 5K/1 Mile Walk will take place on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 8am. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Martin Richard Foundation.

Martin Richard was an 8 year old boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. A picture of Martin holding a handmade sign that reads, "No more hurting people. Peace" went global shortly after the bombings. Martin was viewed as a symbol of peace by many.

The Richard family established the Martin Richard Foundation to honor Martin's message of peace and provides opportunities for individuals and communities to act on the values of peace and kindness.
