Description
We appreciate your interest and support for the Inaugural Project Gabriela Race For Babies benefiting parents and families with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Hosted by The Gabriela Grace Foundation.
Project Gabriela's Why
This race was created with the mission to honor Gabriela’s name and to create a legacy in her memory that will have the impact of a lifetime. Even though her life was cut short, her fingerprints will still leave a mark on this world.
Project Gabriela's Mission
Our mission is to share Gabriela’s story and the stories of others who have experienced perinatal loss. We want families to understand this is not something they have to face alone. Our goal is to raise awareness and unite parents and families affected by perinatal loss or navigating the difficult journey of having a premature baby.
All race proceeds from the Project Gabriela Race For Babies 5K will be benefiting families with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Your race registration is your contribution. Any additional donations or donations made in honor of someone, will also be used to assist families with babies in the NICU.
Our event is focused on coming together to build community, hope, and strength, while honoring all the lives lost, by running or walking for those who won’t get the chance to. The Project Gabriela Race For Babies 5K is professionally chip timed with live online results. Runners, walkers, and strollers are welcome.
Virtual 5K
Would you love to support our cause or run/walk in honor of a loved one, but can’t join us in person ? You can still support by signing up for the virtual race option.

Registration

A Commemorative Shirt and Medal are guaranteed only to the first 125 participants who register(in person or virtual). Due to shirt sizing inventory, there may be a chance you may qualify to receive a shirt but not a medal. We truly hope you’ll be among those who receive these special items!
9/10 Update: Due to the incredible number of registrations, there are no more shirts or medals available. As a result, shirts and medals will no longer be included with new registrations.
