About this race
Abagail's Butterfly Kisses 5k is a 5k charity race connected to Angels for Abagail, a group with the mission "Helping to fill empty arms." The event was created by Abagail's family as a way to keep her memory alive, so the race is rooted in infant loss and family grief rather than just fitness or fundraising.
The course details are limited in the source, but the race distance is the standard 5k. Abagail was born at 24 weeks, weighed 1 pound 3.6 ounces, measured 11 3/4 inches, and died 15 minutes after birth from prematurity. Her story gives the event its name and purpose, and the charity around it focuses on families facing the emptiness left after losing a baby.
