About
Get ready to lace up and hit the ground running on Saturday, August 22nd, 2026, for an event that's so much more than just a race – it's a mission! We're talking about the Race Against Gun Violence (RAGV), where every stride is a step towards hope and healing in our communities. Bright and early at 7:00 AM, we're setting the stage for change as charities gear up with their booths. By 8:00 AM, get pumped with our welcome and warm-up, and let the little ones dash in the Kids Sprint. Then, at 8:30 AM, it's your moment—with the race kicking off, you'll be pounding the pavement for peace, whether you're sprinting, jogging, or walking. Embrace the challenge by participating, inviting, or mobilizing for the cause! Your energy and fundraising directly empower Charity Partners on the front lines against gun violence. Share your journey and motivate others with #RAGV2026 #StridesForPeace, because when we run together, every dollar and every voice can make waves of positive change. Thank you for running with purpose and passion!
