From the Organizer
Presented by the Jarrod Michael Lockett Foundation
Join us for The Legacy Run: A 5K for Peace & Prevention, a community-powered race dedicated to honoring life, promoting peace, and preventing violence before it starts.
Hosted by the Jarrod Michael Lockett Foundation, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters from all backgrounds to move with purpose and stand united for safer, stronger communities. Every step taken is a step toward awareness, healing, and hope.
The Legacy Run is more than a race, it’s a movement. Proceeds from this event directly support the Foundation’s violence prevention initiatives, youth mentorship programs, and community outreach efforts focused on education, conflict resolution, and empowerment.
Whether you’re running for a loved one, walking for peace, or showing up to support a powerful cause, your presence matters.
