Additional event details, including parking instructions and the day-of schedule, will be shared with registered participants closer to race day. Beyond the walk/run, Emerge is a community gathering. Participants can enjoy live music by Kutandara, a Kid Area, a Quiet Reflection & Connection Zone, community vendor and resource booths, and local food trucks. Stick around after the walk/run to grab breakfast or lunch from our food trucks, listen to music, and spend time connecting with neighbors, families, and community partners. Butterfly memorials will line the course. Participants may purchase a butterfly in memory or in honor of someone special, creating a visible display of remembrance, love, and community.
