The Norfolk State University Foundation, Inc. is thrilled to present the annual Green & Gold 5k and Kids Fun Run, coupled with a Health and Wellness Expo, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, on the Norfolk State University campus at Dick Price Stadium. This year marks the 5th anniversary of this exhilarating event, featuring several exciting new elements: a professionally timed run/walk with RFID bib tracking starting and finishing within the stadium, a revamped course that winds through the heart of the campus, a kids fun run, participant awards, as well as brand-new race swag and a finisher medal!
The day will kick off with an invigorating warm-up session leading into the 5K at 9 a.m. The Kids Fun Run, open to children aged 2-12 (onsite sign-up required), will take place on the stadium track at 11 a.m. The Health and Wellness Expo will offer blood pressure and health screenings, along with information and demonstrations from local wellness vendors and organizations, benefiting participants, spectators, and the local community alike.
Rally your team and don your most spirited Green & Gold gear as this event is more than just a run—it’s an opportunity to make a significant impact by raising funds for student success and promoting health awareness. Whether you're cheering from the sidelines, walking, jogging, or running, every step you take helps empower education and build brighter futures.
