NAACP DeKalb Hosts Virtual 5K Walk/Run

ATLANTA - Aug. 20, 2021 - PRLog -- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) DeKalb County Branch will host its Inaugural Virtual 5K Walk/Run Friday, September 24 through Sunday, October 3, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many to be sedentary and this non-traditional event will be a great way to:

- Run/walk at your own pace, wherever and whenever you want
- Find creative ways to include your family
- Set and achieve a personal fitness goal

President Teresa Hardy states, "COVID-19 has transformed the way we communicate and support each other. We will use this event to run with a purpose, support our community and promote healthy living. Let's Run COVID-19 Out of Dekalb County!"

Join us by either running or walking one day or all ten days. Take photos of yourself or if you are in a group, take pictures with your group and email them to 5KRun@naacpdekalb.org. Also, be sure to check out our 5K Run/Walk Promotional Video.
