Race 4 Justice 2026

We are excited to announce the FIFTH annual Race4Justice on June 6th. 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 nonprofits doing justice work in the city and world. This year's events are listed below. 26 Lap Walk/Jog/Run/Roll Relay (9:30) Each of the 26 laps is dedicated to one year of Breonna Taylor's life. We want everyone in our community to get a team together to show up for justice. This event is super accessible. You can run, jog, walk, roll.... And your team can divide up the laps however you want. Go at any pace you want and take as many breaks as you need!! This event is about showing your support for justice and getting as many people to raise money for our organizations. Registration for this event is priced at an individual basis. Each person who joins your team will pay the individual registration price. 1.3 Individual Run/Walk (9:30) Join us solo and complete 5 laps (1.3 miles) however you want to run, walk, jog, roll... If you're able, we encourage everyone to try to create a team to bring in more people!! But, we're happy for anyone that wants to show up to support! Breonna Taylor's life was taken on March 13th. Sprint Relays This year we are offering three relays for our sprinters out there. These are for people who want to run fast! A sprint relay must have 4 people on it. It costs $80 to register your full relay team. The registration fee for this event is on a team basis. Each person must register individually, but relay members will not pay for registration after the first person has paid. Virtual MOVEment Move with us in solidarity even if you can't be here in person. You don't have to run, but we hope you will find a movement that honors our symbolism.
