    William Peace University is hosting the Peace Pacer 5K on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Our goal is to bring together hundreds of students, alumni, and the greater Raleigh community to run or walk to support Peace students. At William Peace University, our students engage with real-world challenges both inside and outside the classroom everyday. That spirit of overcoming challenges has inspired the proceeds of this race to benefit the Peace Cares Fund. This fund supports students when they encounter an unexpected financial burden or crisis to ensure their continued enrollment and success as Pacers. The race will start and end on Peace's Main Lawn with a festival to follow for runners and spectators.

    We hope you will join us!

    Check-in for the race begins at 10 AM, and the race will begin promptly at 11 AM.

    This will be the Alpha Lambda chapter's eighth annual mental health awareness run for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Outrace the Stigma began in 2017 to raise awareness for mental health and the resources available at North Carolina State University and the greater Triangle area.

    NAMI is a non-profit organization that raises awareness and provides essential education, advocacy, and support groups at no cost for people living with mental illness and their loved ones. NAMI addresses the mental health needs of our community, replaces stigma with understanding, and helps thousands of families and individuals each year​.

    Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States, or 43.8 million adults, experience mental illness in a given year.

    Omega Phi Alpha is a national service sorority with 30 chapters across the United States. Omega Phi Alpha's motto is "Today's friends, tomorrow's leaders, forever in service." Our permanent project has been mental health since 1971, chosen by our late National President Susan Terzian. This project is extremely important to our chapter, and we are focusing on bringing awareness around the issue of mental health in the greater Raleigh area.

    Race Benefactor

    As a non-profit serving impoverished and homeless children and families, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: to clothe children with dignity and love. Note in the Pocket believes that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school.

    We have a goal to clothe 12,000 children and families from across the Triangle in 2026. Proceeds from this event help to make that happen.
