National Crime Victims' Rights Week 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk

The Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney's Office-Victim Rights Program is hosting a 5K Run/ 1 Mile Walk to commemorate National Crime Victim's Rights Week April 6-12, 2025. 

The event will take place at Island Park, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858.

During National Crime Victims' Rights Week, it's important to acknowledge the grief and trauma that victims and their families, and our entire community, experience. Our shared grief becomes a little lighter to carry when we all come together to support each other. The 5k Run/ 1 Mile Walk will take place on April 12, 2025 and the route will go through the park system in downtown Mount Pleasant. This year’s theme for Crime Victims’ Rights Week—Connecting, KINSHIP, and Healing. This year's Crime Victims' Rights Week has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to achieving justice for all victims of crime. 

This year’s theme of KINSHIP is call-to-action to recognize that shared humanity should be at the center of supporting all survivors and victims of crime. KINSHIP is a state of being with survivors that drives vital connections and increases access to services, rights, and healing. KINSHIP is where victim advocacy begins. By doing so, we’re able to offer support, options for life-saving services, and, most importantly, hope. Moving forward, our agencies are committed to becoming more inclusive, accessible, and trauma informed to assist victims of crime. We want to showcase how professionals and organizations, in our communities work together to reach all victims. The purpose of this family friendly 5K run/ 1 Mile Walk is to bring together our community’s resources and showcase how we work together to raise awareness for victims of crime in our area. By coming together, we hope to create a more inclusive field so that every victim has the access to services and the support they need.
