🏃‍♀️ Race4Justice Overview

We are excited to announce the THIRD 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.
