From the Organizer
We’re Back. And We’re Ready to Make HOPE Loud Again.
Last year, because of your generosity and belief in this movement, we expanded our reach to more scholars, more high schools, and awarded more scholarships than ever before. That impact was only possible because of you. Thank you.
Now, we are back.

Join us on August 29 for the annual Run With Maud 5K, a powerful act of remembrance, unity, and purpose. Held in honor of Ahmaud Arbery, this event is more than a race. It is a declaration that hope is louder than hate and that we will continue building communities rooted in justice, opportunity, and equity.
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence matters.
Proceeds from the Run With Maud 5K directly support scholarships for aspiring scholars, youth leadership and empowerment programming, and social justice advocacy and community engagement through the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation. This is how we continue Ahmaud’s legacy. This is how we make hope loud.
