3rd Annual Nèg Mawon 5K Run/Walk
Join us for the 3rd Annual Nèg Mawon 5K Run/Walk, an opportunity to support and raise funds for the Haitian American Students Corporation (HASC) while celebrating Haitian heritage, resilience, and community. This annual event brings together runners, walkers, families, students, and supporters for a meaningful cause that invests in the educational success, leadership development, and future opportunities of Haitian and Haitian-American youth in Haiti and in the US.
Inspired by the Nèg Mawon, a symbol of freedom, courage, and perseverance, the race serves as both a celebration of Haitian culture and a call to action to support the next generation of leaders. Every registration, donation, and sponsorship helps advance HASC's mission of empowering youth through education, scholarship opportunities, cultural enrichment, and community engagement.
Whether you are an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking to support a worthy cause, we invite you to join us for a morning of fitness, fellowship, and community impact.
