A fun and powerful event that brings our community together to stand—and now run—with survivors, sending a clear message that they are seen, believed, and never have to stand alone. This event raises both awareness and critical funds for Sexual Assault Services, a local nonprofit providing free and confidential support to individuals impacted by sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and all forms of sexual violence. This year, we are excited to introduce a new addition to our event: a timed 5K run through the beautiful trails of the Northland Arboretum. The 5K is a separate event, created in response to years of community interest in having a professionally timed run. The registration fee for the 5K helps cover the costs associated with timing and event logistics, ensuring a quality experience for participants while still supporting our mission. Following the 5K, participants and community members are invited to take part in our signature Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes event at 10:30 a.m. This
