Choose How You Want to Walk/Run
-
On Your Own
Complete your 5k on your own giving you the freedom to choose your own path and run or walk at your own pace. Whether you prefer running on a treadmill, jogging around your neighborhood, or hitting the trails, you can complete your run or walk at any location and at any time that suits you.
-
With a Group
Looking for some camaraderie in your 5k? Join a local Neighborhood Walk/Run! Community volunteers and participants, just like you, have signed up to self-organize virtual walk/runs in their own local area. This is a great way to get together with others in your area to raise awareness about adoption from foster care. Find a local Neighborhood Walk/Run in the listing below to contact the Neighborhood leader for more details.

Neighborhood Walk/Runs
Each local Neighborhood Walk/Run will be self-organized by a community volunteer. These are low-key get togethers whose main purpose is to promote community among local advocates for adoption from foster care. Each organizer will bring their own flavor, but in general you should expect to meet up with other virtual participants (wearing your Walk/Run shirts of course!) to complete the 5k in a local neighborhood, park, or public area. Contact the local Neighborhood leader in the listing below for more details.
