Stepping Forward For Down Syndrome 5K

Stepping Forward For Down Syndrome 5K is run in Butler, Pennsylvania, on March 21, 2027. Two formats start together at 9:00 a.m.: the 5K (3.1 miles) and a 1 Mile Walk. Having a separate walking distance means runners get a clean race while anyone who prefers to walk has an event of their own rather than trailing the back of the field.

For the 5K, the usual advice applies: warm up before the gun, go through the first mile controlled, and press over the last half mile if you have anything left. A month of easy running three or four times a week with one faster session is ample preparation. The mile walk is the choice if you are here to support the cause, bringing children along, or easing back into activity, and at that distance you need nothing more than comfortable shoes.
