Get ready to kick off AAPI Heritage Month with an unforgettable event — the AAPI 5K Run! Lace up your sneakers, hit the streets, and join us in celebrating the vibrant Asian American & Pacific Islander community while supporting the incredible work of the Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI), other impactful nonprofit organizations, and AAPI small businesses.
Run, Walk, or Cheer – EVERY step counts! This isn’t just any run — it’s a powerful celebration of culture, unity, and progress. Whether you’re racing to the finish line or strolling with friends, your participation will help us raise $2,000 to fund programs that educate our community.
- Be part of a high-energy, inclusive event that shines a spotlight on AAPI voices.
- Support vital programs that uplift the AAPI community year-round.
- Celebrate diversity, connection, and the spirit of giving.
