Kwanzaa 5K Walk & Run
The Kwanzaa 5K Walk & Run presented by Harambe Inc. is a community event held on December 26, 2026, at Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake, Virginia. The event offers both an in-person run and walk and a virtual participation option over a 3.1 Mile course.
Participants receive a custom Kwanzaa finisher medal and a commemorative race t-shirt. The 5K is timed and publishes official results, with age group trophies awarded to top performers. The event includes elements of community celebration focused on culture, unity, and wellness, and references the Nguzo Saba principles: Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith).
Proceeds support the Harambe Creative Futures Scholarship, which aims to help children and teenagers access arts education and creative opportunities. The event lists Positive Vibes as a community sponsor and names Oak Grove Lake Park, Chesapeake, Virginia as the location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
