Events
Information
Run. Walk. Bike. Hike. Roll. Crawl. Whatever your mode, join us to journey to the summit in 2027! All virtual 5K registrants will receive a race t-shirt, and the first 400 registrants will receive a commemorative 30th anniversary custom die-cast finisher's medal. (Note: Your items will ship in December prior to the event.)
A virtual 5K event is a way to show your support for an important cause while earning some race swag and having some fun. Registrants will receive event updates via email and can also engage with others on the Facebook event (coming soon).
EVENT OPTIONS:
- If you are more of the competitive type or want to complete a full 5K, select the 5K option. A t-shirt and medal (if desired) are included. You may submit your race time via the website at the end of the event, though no prizes are given for top finishers.
- If finishing a 5K isn't on your list of New Year's Resolutions, but you still want to participate and receive a t-shirt and medal (if desired), choose the fun run/walk.
- If you prefer not to receive a shirt or medal, please consider making a donation to your local chapter on the fundraising page rather than registering for one of the events.
About Us
Proceeds from this race will go directly to participating chapters of Hands & Voices throughout the United States. Hands & Voices is an international organization with 43 chapters that provides support to families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We are non-biased about communication methodologies and believe that families can make the best choices for their child if they have access to good information and support. From American Sign Language to cochlear implants, our organization represents people from all different approaches to, and experiences with, deafness or hearing loss. We have local chapters comprised mainly of parents along with professionals. As the largest parent organization for families raising children who are deaf or hard of hearing in the U.S., we are called upon for thought leadership in health, education and parenting arenas, and work with families and the systems that support them from hearing screening, identification, early intervention, school-age, and transition from high school.
