2nd Annual 5k Run/Walk : Gabby Petito Foundation
The 2nd Annual 5k Run/Walk, organized by the Gabby Petito Foundation, takes place on September 19, 2026, with an in-person gathering in Blue Point, New York at 1 Corey Avenue and a virtual participation window from August 27 through September 19. The event accommodates running and walking participants and allows supporters to attend in person or participate remotely.
The event is scheduled to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the day the foundation commemorates. Proceeds support the foundation's mission to assist victims of domestic violence and to locate missing persons. Specific uses of funds include domestic violence prevention and community education programs; grants to agencies that provide direct services for survivors; youth education initiatives focused on prevention; resources and assistance for families with missing loved ones; and scholarships for students pursuing the arts.
Virtual participants are encouraged to share photos and videos on social media to mark their participation; the organizer accepts virtual entries during the stated window. Following the in-person run, there is an opportunity for attendees to remain on site for a brief gathering to honor the foundation’s namesake, recognize survivors, and convey messages of remembrance and resilience.
