LV5K & 1 Mile Walk/Run
About this race
The Lauren Vaughn Memorial Foundation will host the LV5K walk/run on April 04, 2026, at the Alexandria Senior High School football field. This memorial walk/run is to remember and honor the life of Lauren Vaughn and others who lost their lives to impaired driving. The money raised will go towards the Lauren Vaughn Memorial Scholarship at NSU for the Accelerated BS to BSN Program, benefiting future nurses and raising awareness about drunk and impaired driving.
Multiple options to participate:
💜 Show up in person on race day for the 1-mile or 5K.
💜 Virtual for our out-of-town friends and family who love to walk or run and want to support. (This does not include a t-shirt, just bragging rights, and supports the Lauren Vaughn Memorial Scholarship)
