2nd Annual 5k Run/Walk
The 2nd Annual 5k Run and Walk is organized by the Gabby Petito Foundation and takes place on September 19, 2026 in Blue Point, New York at 1 Corey Avenue. The event marks the fifth anniversary of the day she was found and is described as a way to honor her life and legacy.
The event offers both in-person and virtual participation. The virtual option runs from August 27 through September 19, 2026. Participants can run, walk, join virtually, or cheer from the sidelines.
All proceeds from the event fund the foundation's programs and initiatives. These include domestic violence prevention and community education, grants to agencies that provide direct services and support for survivors, youth education initiatives for prevention, resources and assistance for families with missing loved ones, and scholarships for students pursuing the arts. The organizer is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity organization.
After the run and walk, attendees are invited to remain to remember the person being honored, recognize survivors, and acknowledge the foundation's work in education and prevention. The event combines an in-person gathering in Blue Point with a virtual participation window to broaden access and support for the foundation's mission.
