Wear Your Wings 5K Run/Walk

The Marion County Children’s Alliance Break the Silence on Violence program will host a 5K race to benefit victims and survivors of domestic violence. It will take place on Oct. 5, the first Saturday of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Prospective runners and walkers are encouraged to come out and enjoy some possibly cooler morning temps while benefiting a good cause.

The first 250 participants to finish will receive a medal, with special recognition for the first-place finishers in men’s and women’s’ groups. The top three finishers in each age group will also receive special recognition. Whether you plan to run, walk, or do a little bit of both, participants of all skill levels and experience are welcome.

Racers will begin at the Dassance Fine Arts Center at the College of Central Florida, and the race, about 3.1 miles or exactly 5 kilometers, will take place around the campus.

Registration and packet pickup will begin at 7 a.m., with the race scheduled to begin at 8 a.m.

The price to register begins at $30 for adults and $10 for kids, until Sept. 25; $35 through Oct. 4; $40 day of event.
