In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April, the Center for Prevention of Abuse (CFPA) is hosting its 2nd annual 5K run/1 mile walk, I Run With Survivors, on Saturday, 4/13 at the Levee District at 8:00 AM. Online registration is now open! The general admission fee is $30. The registration fee for participants ages 4-17 is $15 and registration is free for children younger than three years old. The course is stroller, wheelchair, and pet friendly. All participants will receive a race day t-shirt and teal shoelaces, the color of sexual assault awareness, and are encouraged to wear both at the event. Merchandise from CFPA, including hats, coffee mugs, pop sockets, pins, and more, are available for purchase on the registration website. This year, the registration website has an added feature that allows participants to raise money for CFPA through peer-to-peer fundraising.
