This event is a community 5K and fun run held at the Belle Johnston Community Center in Pineville, NC on September 12, 2026. It is presented by Jace’s Journey Inc as an annual gathering to raise awareness about stillbirth, pregnancy loss, and disparities in maternal and infant health.
The event includes the following distances:

Funds raised support bereavement support initiatives, community education, advocacy efforts, stillbirth prevention awareness, and distribution of Jace’s Embrace Boxes for grieving families. The event description notes that Black families experience disproportionately higher rates of stillbirth and maternal health complications, and that local efforts focus on education, early intervention, awareness of warning signs, and equitable healthcare access.
