JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION 5K
RUN/WALK/BIKE
Fit, Black, and Educated, Inc. (FBE) is pleased to announce our third annual Juneteenth Celebration 5K taking place on June 19th, 2022, brought to you by We Are Run Series! With over 250 participants nationwide, this 5K commemorates Juneteenth and promotes healthy, active living.
Juneteenth is a time to reflect on Black Americans’ collective resiliency when faced with racial disparities and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of Black American culture.
Let’s join in solidarity to complete the Juneteenth Celebration 5k run/walk in person or virtually. #FBEJuneteenth5K #EmancipationCelebration
