5K preteky v blízkosti Welland

The 5K Run/Funwalk for Epilepsy Awareness takes place in Buffalo, New York, offering participants a choice between a timed 5K run and a Fun Walk. Registration begins in the morning, with both the run and walk commencing at 10:00 AM. This event focuses on epilepsy awareness in Western New York, a region where epilepsy impacts approximately one in every 100 individuals. The race honors the memory of Maggie Lee, who served as a counselor at the Epilepsy Association of WNY, was a community activist, a friend, and lived with epilepsy. She passed away from injuries sustained during a seizure. Funds raised will benefit the Epilepsy Association of WNY’s outreach, awareness, and education initiatives, aimed at assisting individuals with epilepsy in leading more independent, productive, and fulfilling lives.

Niagara PAL Santa Dash 5k is a holiday-themed 5K in Niagara Falls, with the route running around the falls before finishing in downtown Niagara Falls. It is built as a community race, with a low entry fee, a student rate, and proceeds supporting local youth. The draw is simple: runners get a short race near one of the best-known natural landmarks in North America, then end in the middle of downtown holiday activity. Early registrants are guaranteed a race T-shirt, and the post-race setup includes family-friendly seasonal activities rather than just a finish line and a walk back to the car.
