Strides Against Stigma- GCAP 5K Walk/Run 2026

Kick off Pride Fest with purpose! Join us for our annual 5K Run/Walk, celebrating 41 years of community strength, health equity, and the fight to end HIV/AIDS in East Central Illinois. Whether you run, walk, roll, or stroll, your participation directly supports individuals and families living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS. Every registration helps provide housing, healthcare, food, transportation, and emergency support to individuals who rely on GCAP’s services. After you cross the finish line, stick around for our Resource Fair, featuring community organizations, wellness information, and activities! We’ll also have bagels, coffee, and morning refreshments provided by local business Good Judy’s Espresso & Bagel Bar. Join us to stand against stigma, raise HIV/AIDS awareness, and kick off Pride Fest with pride, solidarity, and joy. Resource Fair opens at 8:30AM | Refreshments available at 8:30AM | 5K Run/Walk begins at 9AM
