Virtual 5K Run/Walk
September 19, 2021

Hello fellow HBCU Alumni and supporters, the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. ®, Rho Eta Omega chapter are excited to kick off HBCU Week with our HBCU 5K Run/Walk! Recognizing that HBCU funding is one of the primary obstacles that threaten the long-term growth and survival of HBCUs, your participation through event registration, donations and sponsorships will directly help support students attending a HBCU. This will be a virtual experience like no other as it is a Call-To-Action to help to stamp the Alpha Kappa Alpha brand of financial support on each HBCU campus. All funding will be used to help students remain in schools, complete their course of study and receive their college degree!

Run or walk a 5K (3.2 miles) around your neighborhood, your favorite walking trail, park, your own backyard or on the treadmill anytime on September 19, 2021 between 8am - 5pm. T-Shirts ordered by August 25, 2021 will be received prior to the event date. Registration after August 25, 2021 will receive T-shirts after the event.
