Event Description
William Peace University is hosting the Peace Pacer 5K on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Our goal is to bring together hundreds of students, alumni, and the greater Raleigh community to run or walk to support Peace students. At William Peace University, our students engage with real-world challenges both inside and outside the classroom everyday. That spirit of overcoming challenges has inspired the proceeds of this race to benefit the Peace Cares Fund. This fund supports students when they encounter an unexpected financial burden or crisis to ensure their continued enrollment and success as Pacers. The race will start and end on Peace's Main Lawn with a festival to follow for runners and spectators.
We hope you will join us!
