About this race
Race Overview
District 19 returns for year seven with a new signal. Born from the belief that running can be a form of activism, District 19 was created as a way to reclaim space, build community, and move with purpose. In a time filled with noise, uncertainty, and division, we turn to movement once again as our voice. This October, every mile becomes a signal and every runner becomes part of something bigger.
