Strides for Survivors
Strides for Survivors is a community 5k run/walk held on February 28, 2026, at Wakemed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. The event is presented as a single 5k event and takes place at 101 Soccer Park Drive, Cary, NC 27511.
The event is organized by a student from Enloe High School who previously participated in Camp Celebrate and sought to combine running with fundraising for burn survivor aftercare. The event is described as the inaugural Strides for Survivors.
Proceeds from the event support the aftercare program at the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center. The aftercare team runs annual activities such as Camp Celebrate, Family Camp, Teenager Adventure Weekend and Adult Retreat that serve hundreds of burn survivors and their families. Funds raised will support the Burn Center’s work in specialized medical care, rehabilitative services, community education and burn prevention, and related research and programs that help patients regain function and support families across the state.
