This 5K Run/Walk is to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. Team Lakewood, which is comprised of residents and staff of the Lakewood Retirement Community is the top fundraiser in the history of Richmond's Walk to End Alzheimer's. In 2024 we ranked 34th nationwide in the event, which had over 55,000 teams. We hope to raise over $65,000 this year to support this organization, which supports persons living with Alzheimer's, their caregivers and research. You can help find a cure by participating in our third annual Lakewood/Alzheimer's 5K! 100% of the net profit from this race will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association.
The official official-timed 5K takes place at 9:00 am Saturday March 21st.

Come join us for the Bernard Greene Memorial 5K! The race starts at 9:30 am on October 11, 2025 at Deep Run Park. Registration is $35 per person and all proceeds benefit the alumni and current participants of Henrico County Recovery Court for sober activities, graduation celebrations, and family days. A t-shirt is included with each registration. This event is named after our previous Administrator, Bernard L. Greene, Jr. who passed away on March 7, 2019. Mr. Greene joined the then "drug court" team as a Clinician in 2008 and was promoted to Administrator in April of 2017. In his short 48 years of life, Mr. Greene touched the hearts of many people and helped others change their lives for the better. He led by example and did so with a smile, always. One well known aspect of his life was that he loved to be active and push his body to its limits. He enjoyed running, cycling, and spending time outdoors. We couldn't think of a better way to continue to support his legacy, one that he has
already cemented years before now, by naming our annual 5K event after him. An event based on physical engagement that benefits those challenged by addiction is right up his alley! We will be forever indebted to him for all he has done for our community. Henrico County Recovery Court has been in operation since 2003 and is dedicated to enhancing public safety through assessments and community supervision guided by best practices. Our goal is to reduce crime and recidivism through timely intervention and comprehensive treatment of substance abusing offenders. Please support our efforts to promote community engagement and fellowship while raising funds to support our participants and alumni.There will be a bounce house, raffles, music, and more!!
