About the race
Lakad for Karapatan is a family-focused 5K walk and run combined with a community festival at Columbia Park in Portland, OR on September 5, 2026. The event name is explained in Tagalog: "lakad" means walk and "karapatan" means rights. The organizer aims to raise $50,000 to fund relief and rehabilitation for Philippine communities affected by typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and other natural calamities through the Foundation for Philippine Progress, to support the Filipino Bayanihan Center’s health programs, and to support a new Migrant Worker’s Training Center in Portland, OR. The event description emphasizes addressing gaps in health, land, and community infrastructure for affected communities. Registration is offered in three phases with associated fees and shirt availability: an early bird period with a $40 fee and shirt included, a regular period with a $50 fee and shirt included, and a late period with a $50 fee and shirt not guaranteed.
The event program pairs the 5K walk/run with a park festival featuring Filipino food, vendors, activities, and live performances. The format is presented as community-oriented and intended to combine fundraising with cultural and recreational activities at Columbia Park.
