WHY WE RUN
For those living with autoimmune disease, every day brings new challenges- physical, emotional, and mental. Some days are harder than others, but every day requires courage and support.
The Ascent 5K honors that. Whether you're an autoimmune warrior, caregiver, family member, supporter, or advocate, this event is a chance to stand together, rise together, and celebrate strength in all forms.
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.

EVENT SAFETY, WEATHER & REFUND POLICY
The safety of all participants, volunteers, and spectators is our top priority.
In the event of inclement weather, the event start time may be delayed by up to 1 hour. After that, we may shorten or alter the course to protect participants. All Next Level Race Management events proceed rain, shine, snow, or cold. For that reason, we have a strict no-refund policy.
If conditions turn unsafe, the event may be canceled. Event changes and cancellations are at the discretion of the Race Director.
We always strive to produce a full and safe sporting event, but weather can sometimes affect those plans.
A considerable amount goes into planning a sporting event, and we do so with the best intentions. Unfortunately, no one can control the weather, and race directors are not the exception.
Our goal is always to run the event as scheduled and modify plans only for safety concerns, some of which can be caused by weather conditions.
If you are unable to participate in the event, you may contact the event organizer to pick up your packet at another time, or, if you purchased race insurance, follow the steps to request a refund.
I appreciate your understanding of these policies, and we appreciate your participation.
