About the Event

Join us for the 5K Against ALS, a powerful community event dedicated to raising awareness and support for those impacted by ALS. Hosted by Ashes and Embers Foundation, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and frontline families to make a meaningful difference. Proceeds from the race will benefit ALS of Nevada, support Ashes and Embers Foundation’s mission of caring for frontline families in times of crisis, and provide direct assistance to a family currently facing ALS. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence helps honor resilience, support families, and bring hope to those navigating the unimaginable.

All ages are welcome. 
There will be food on site.

No pets. No skateboards. No roller skates. 
Strollers and Wheelchairs are okay!
