Juneteenth was declared a public holiday

in 2020 by New York's Governor and in 2021 by the US Congress, but we've been celebrating it across three centuries.

5K Route

12PM: Highbridge Park

Edgecombe & 168th Street

​

​

End: Morningside Park

237-331 Manhattan Ave, New York, NY 10026

A solidarity march in the form of a 5K walk/run with NYC-based run crews and community groups. The event will cover Highbridge, Jackie Robinson, Saint. Nicholas, and Morningside Parks from The Heights to Harlem.  

​

Immediately following the 5K we are hosting the Marching Cobras, and collaborating with community groups passionate about health and wellness.
