FRIENDS, Inc. presents the 2nd Annual Steps Against Sexual Assault 5K Walk/Run on April 25, 2026 at Ridge Run Park, 2600 Wheat Ridge Ln, West Bend, WI. The event is held in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and in recognition of survivors of sexual violence.

The 2026 event features a brand new route outlined in purple and expanded on-site activities. The event is scheduled to proceed rain or shine, including in cold conditions.
Registration options are individual registration at $35, group registration for 2 to 4 participants at $35 per person, and group registration for five or more participants at $30 per person. Registration includes an official event t-shirt, participation in the timed 5K walk/run, food and beverages, access to event activities, and eligibility for race prizes.
On-site activities include a denim painting station in honor of Denim Day, a commitment board for messages of support, raffle baskets and a 50/50 drawing, family-friendly games, and food and beverages. Awards will be presented for first through third overall, a Caboose Award for the last place finisher, a FAB Furry FRIENDS Award for pet lovers, and the fastest youth runner age 13 and under.
The event is organized to bring people together and to support FRIENDS, Inc. in providing free and confidential services to survivors in the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
