Runners and walkers are invited to register for the annual Embrace Uganda 5k coming up Saturday, June 4, in downtown Wake Forest from 8 to 11 a.m.
Sign up to run or walk at https://EmbraceUganda.org. Your registration and donations help provide clean water, medical care and education to some of the 2.3 million orphaned children in Uganda.
The 5k begins and ends near Town Hall on Taylor Street. Official race timing is by Young & Associates, and the course is USATF certified.
All participants receive an event T-shirt and free participation in the JerryCan Challenge, which replicates a Ugandan child’s daily trek just to find clean water. The event also features a Ugandan craft fair, raffles and prizes.
Corporate sponsorships range from $500 to $125 and offer branding on event banners, T-shirts and websites. To run or walk in the 5k, or make a tax-deductible donation, please call 919-760-3520 or email Marty.Coward@EdwardJones.com.
