Girls on the Run and STRIDE are innovative health education and wellness programs, combining the power of running with life-changing self esteem and character-enhancing lessons. These lessons encourage healthy habits and active lifestyles in young boys and girls.

Many in our community are unable to afford access to this life-changing program. That's where you come in! All proceeds from the EmergeOrtho 5K go towards helping provide scholarships for these participants. Over 40% of our Girls on the Run & STRIDE participants utilize financial assistance and we couldn't support these families without your help!

    "Every Step Counts 5K"

    Join us for the Every Step Counts 5K and optional 10K for the seasoned runners, a walk/run meaningful community event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children with autism and special needs. This year, we are proud to partner with Smart Start, a trusted local organization committed to strengthening early childhood development and support systems within our community.

    Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide an incredible 5K experience that highlights the importance of care, inclusion, and community support, while raising essential funds to help children and families throughout Wilmington and the surrounding areas.

    This event is more than just a race. It’s a day to come together as a community and make a difference. Bring your family and friends to enjoy:

    Live kid and family friendly entertainment and music

    Refreshments

    A fun, family-friendly atmosphere

    Opportunities to connect, bond, and unite for a meaningful cause

    Most importantly, Every Step Counts is a chance to support local children, promote health and wellness, and spend a positive, uplifting day in Wilmington.

    Together, we can take steps that truly make a difference.

    See you there!

    Be part of one of the oldest and most iconic races in Wilmington, NC & join us for the annual Tri-Span 5K, 10K & Livestrong Mile.

    Both 5K and 10K courses wind through historic downtown Wilmington and along the picturesque Cape Fear Riverwalk which hugs the bank of the Cape Fear River. The 5K is an out and back course through downtown Wilmington. The 10K course is what makes Tri Span such a unique race. Runners will have the opportunity to run the three downtown bridges. The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge will take runners across the Cape Fear River. The Thomas Rhodes Bridge will give runners a birds eye view of the USS North Carolina and the downtown Wilmington riverfront. Last, the Isabell Holmes bridge will cross back over the Cape Fear River and bring runners back into downtown Wilmington and to the finish line.

    Back by popular demand - the LIVESTRONG MILE. Join us as we honor friends and family whose lives have been impacted by cancer. This is a non-timed 1-mile walk or run and we invite everyone to participate.

    Presented by our friends at Maus, Warwick, Matthews, and Co
