5k For PCAA is a running race on October 10, 2026 in Grand Forks, ND, with an entry fee of $20.
From the Organizer
Kappa Delta at the University of North Dakota is excited to host our first annual 5k for PCAA, a fun and meaningful 5K dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA). Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to come together for a morning of movement, community, and a great cause.
The race will be held on campus! The start and finish will be the main quad/greenery space in the middle of Merrifield and O'Kelly Hall. Please park in the Memorial Union Parking Garage!
All proceeds from the event will support PCAA and its mission to prevent child abuse and neglect and help create safe, healthy, and nurturing environments for children and families. 80% of proceeds will go locally to Families Flourish, while 20% goes to the national chapter of PCAA. Whether you are running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, we invite you to join us in making a difference and supporting children in our community.
