Equality Now 5K, Fun Run and Health Fair
The Equality Now event at Veterans Memorial Park near Lake Fayetteville Dam combines a 5K run, a fun run, and a health fair on Saturday, April 24. The program brings together community members around health services, recreational activity, and informational resources.
The event aims to raise scholarship funds to support education pathways, promote healthy living through walking, jogging, and running activities, and highlight inclusion and equitable access to education and resources. It is presented as a community-focused gathering that includes health-related exhibits alongside the running events.
Participants may register in several categories: the standard Equality Now 5K registration is listed at $30 and includes a T-shirt and a medal; a Student 5K option is listed at $10 for students from primary through graduate levels; a no-fee Equality Now 5K option is available without a T-shirt or medal; and volunteer registration is offered at no charge. Packet pick-up is scheduled for Saturday morning at Veterans Park, and on-site registration will be available on Saturday morning.
The event description notes that individuals, families, and teams of all ages and genders are welcome. The focus is on community participation, health promotion, and supporting scholarship efforts without any stated competitive requirements.
