    The Down Syndrome Network of Greater Greensboro (DSNGG) invites you and your family to participate in its 8th annual 5K walk/run, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day!

    People with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome, so this race has a little something EXTRA too – Official times will be recorded at the 5K finish line, then runners will go on to DASH an extra 0.1-mile to finish at 3.21 miles, in honor of the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome present in people with Down syndrome. And if you’re lucky, you may be accompanied through the second finish line by DASHers with Down syndrome to cheer you on and thank you for your support

    Event proceeds will benefit the DSNGG in its efforts to support individuals with Down syndrome (Ds) and their families in our community. By participating, you can help the DSNGG continue to provide many programs and events to our families, from providing welcome bags for new parents in the hospital to hosting speakers for our parents on topics, such as special education rights and financial planning. The DSNGG also offers financial assistance and scholarships to families who need help providing medical or therapeutic services for their children with Ds.

    Runners are encouraged to take part in the Lots of Socks campaign, wearing brightly colored socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sock … even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes! The choice is yours, but we ask you to join us wearing something which people will ask you about so that you can tell them all about World Down Syndrome Day. (Find more information at https://worlddownsyndromeday.org/lots-of-socks)

    Did you know that people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome? Most people have two copies of 23 different chromosomes, but individuals with Down syndrome are born with three copies of the 21st chromosome (the medical term for this is Trisomy 21). That's it … only one chromosome difference! So for awareness and support, we are adding to a traditional 5K (3.1-mile) run a short extra 0.11-mile “dash” in honor of the extra chromosome in those with Down syndrome for a total distance of 3.21 miles!!! Again, your official time will be captured at the 5K finish line; the extra Dash is just for fun!

    The Miles of Legacy 5K is a meaningful community run founded by sisters on a mission and the Bernice H Price Foundation, Inc.—created in honor of their mother and in remembrance of all loved ones lost to cancer. What began from loss has grown into a movement of hope, healing, and support.

    This family-friendly 5K welcomes runners, walkers, children, and supporters of all ages. We invite families to come together, bring photos or memories of loved ones, and turn the day into a celebration of life, strength, and legacy.

    While we proudly honor those impacted by breast cancer, this race recognizes all cancers. Participants are encouraged—but not required—to wear the color representing the cancer they are supporting as a visible symbol of love and remembrance.

    All proceeds from the Miles of Legacy 5K will benefit students who have lost a parent or loved one to cancer, helping them continue their education while honoring the legacy left behind.

    Join us as we run with purpose, walk in remembrance, and move forward together—one mile at a time.

    Join Us for A Star Wars-Themed Charity Run!

    Celebrate May the Fourth a little early—on Saturday, May 2, 2026—with our exciting charity race, part of the 2026 Fleet Feet Race Series! The event kicks off and wraps up at Lawndale Baptist Church, where you’ll find:

    • Delicious beverages from Wired Cafe Coffee Bus

    • Tasty snacks

    • Tons of awards and prizes!

    Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, remember:

    The Force will be with you. Always.

    Costumes Encouraged!

    Come dressed as your favorite character—there will be Best Costume prizes, selected by our event staff judges. And of course, top finishers will receive awesome race prizes too!

    Run for a Cause

    As you Storm the Course, you’ll also Be the Force for Mental Health Awareness!

    All proceeds from the May the Course Race benefit Restoration Place Counseling (RPC)—a local nonprofit offering affordable, professional Christian counseling to girls and women in the Triad and beyond.

    Why it matters:

    High cost is both a nationally and locally documented reason why people do not seek mental health care. RPC exists to remove this obstacle for those in need.

    In a time when professional mental health care is needed more than ever, your participation helps make a real difference. Thank you for your support!
