The 5k walk/run promotes awareness of the issues that surround racial injustice in our community, and raises significant funds to support the YWCA Greater Harrisburg's racial justice programs.

 In celebration of the Race's 10th anniversary, a free Humanity Fest will coincide with the Race and will feature a variety of entertainment, activities for children, food trucks and vendor tables. Don't forget to bring your wallet!
