Here and Now Project 5K for Today

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Here and Now Project invites you to join us for our Seventh Annual 5K For Today! This will be a hybrid event. We are incredibly excited to return to Rogers High School in Puyallup for the in-person event and will continue to offer the virtual option for those who cannot join us in-person. By joining this family friendly walk, run, roll you will be supporting the paralysis community. Proceeds from this community activity will help us connect and empower the community through direct outreach to people who are newly injured, private support groups, recreational activities, and annual gatherings.

📅 Event Details

• Registration: Register individually or start a team with family and friends! All participants will receive a race bib, sticker, and t-shirt for participating.
• T-Shirts: Stylish short sleeve event T-shirts in unisex, women's, and youth sizes are included with your registration. We have a new option to order a unisex long sleeve shirt for an additional $3.00 fee. Your T-shirt is not guaranteed if you register after July 8th. We will order limited extras (short sleeve only) in order to attempt to provide shirts for later entries, however these will be subject to availability and sizes will be on a first come-first served basis.
• Additional Swag: While registering you will have the option to purchase additional H&NP swag from the store.
• Fundraising: Don't feel up to running, walking, or rolling but still want to support the cause? Create an individual or team fundraiser and share your personal experiences of H&NP with your respective networks!
