About the Event

Since 2020, EMPOWERR has worked to support youth through fundraising, partnerships, and hands‑on service. We are now taking the next step by registering as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and this 5K marks a major milestone in that journey. Your participation directly fuels our mission. Rooted, a newly formed group, is focused on addressing community challenges through app development. Proceeds from this event will help turn their tech solutions into reality. By signing up, you are not just joining a race. You are helping drive youth‑led change. Bring a friend, bring your energy, and make it count.

Age & Registration Policy

To keep the 5K fair and safe for everyone, all participants must be registered, regardless of age. Children under 7 can participate for free, but must still have a completed registration form and signed waiver by a parent or guardian.

Age for free entry is based on the participant’s date of birth on race day. At bib pickup, event staff may request proof of age (such as a school ID, birth certificate copy, or other document) for children registered under this category.

Any misrepresentation of age will result in disqualification without refund. These steps ensure that our free youth entries go to the intended participants and help us cover costs for the event.
