Lakad for Rights
Lakad for Rights is presented as a community 5K walk and run with an accompanying festival at Columbia Park in Portland, Oregon. The event name links Tagalog and Filipino language meanings: "lakad" means walk and "kalusugan" means health. It is described as family-friendly and pairs the movement activity with park-based community elements including Filipino food, vendors, activities, and live performances.
The event states an explicit fundraising goal of $50,000 to support health-related projects and relief and rehabilitation for communities affected by natural calamities in the Philippines through the Foundation for Philippine Progress, and to support the Filipino Bayanihan Center’s Health Programs in Portland. Organizers note a broader context of serving migrant communities in Oregon amid potential federal changes affecting access to health services.
Registration is ticketed with tiered fees and shirt availability: an early bird rate of $35 (July 31–August 15) with a shirt, a regular rate of $40 (August 16–September 1) with a shirt, and a late rate of $40 (September 2–6) with shirts not guaranteed. The event location is listed as Columbia Park, 4503 N Lombard St., Portland, OR 97203. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
