About the Race

Join us for the Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV): a powerful celebration of the life-changing work of local community organizations and a chance for everyone who cares about ending gun violence to take meaningful action.

This is your opportunity to cultivate hope: run, walk, or sprint alongside others who share the vision of a community free from gun violence. Every step counts, and 100% of charitable contributions you raise go directly to your selected Charity Partner, supporting efforts to end gun violence where it matters most.

Make an Impact

• Participate: in the 5K, 2-Mile Walk, or Kids for Peace Sprint.
• Invite: friends, family, and colleagues to join you or cheer you on!
• Mobilize your networks:—ask local businesses and community connections to support your chosen charity.
