For the Love of Justice Memorial 5K

🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

We run in memory of 1st LT Justice R. Stewart, a fallen United States Marine Corps officer who had a giving heart, a selfless soul, an infectious laugh, and a heartwarming smile. 1st LT Stewart was a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin, a friend, and a Marine. She was artistic, confident, and ambitious, setting goals years in advance. 1st LT Stewart tragically lost her life while she was on a run. We run for her. Every time our foot hits the pavement, it is symbolic of a heartbeat, bringing life into the memories that 1st LT Stewart left behind to share with the world.

Welcome to the "FOR THE LOVE OF JUSTICE" Virtual 5K Race, a special event honoring the legacy of 1ST LT Justice R. Stewart, USMC. Join us in supporting the Empowering Justice Charitable Foundation at Central Carolina Community Foundation, dedicated to promoting pathways out of poverty.
