5K Run and 1 Mile Walk

Saturday, April 11

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April, CFPA is hosting its 9th Annual 5K Run/1 Mile Walk, I Run with Survivors, on Saturday, 4/11, 2026 at 8 am in the Levee District in East Peoria. Participants are welcome to join in person or virtually.

Race day activities include photo opportunities and refreshments following the race.

CFPA wants all survivors – ones who have come forward to disclose and ones who keep their abuse private – to know that the community supports them, the Center for Prevention of Abuse supports them, and that they are believed.

Post a photo in your race shirt, tag us, and use #iRunwithSurvivors to show how you support and believe survivors.

All the proceeds from registration go toward providing free and confidential services for survivors of sexual assault at CFPA.

CFPA services for sexual assault survivors and all survivors of abuse are free and confidential and the crisis hotline is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-559-SAFE (7233).
