Let's Include Landon - 2nd Annual Equal Footing 5k Run/Walk | Waxhaw, NC, United States

About the Event

Join us June 14, 2025 at Marvin Efird Park (8909 New Town Rd) for the 2nd Annual Equal Footing 5k hosted by Let's Include Landon!

This year it's a COLOR RUN! Registration starts at 8:30AM and the run begins at 9AM.

This race is for EVERYONE who wants to be part of a meaningful morning - families, run clubs, high school track & field/cross country, sports teams.

Funds raised support inclusive summer sports for kids with and without disabilities - including a basketball, golf clinic, and tennis clinic. Opportunities for neurodiverse kids age 5-12 to play competitively with their neurotypical peers are greatly needed and currently underserved in our community.

This is a feel-good cause you can be proud to support! Enjoy a color powder run, flavor your own water hydration station, music, complimentary face painting, balloon art, ice cream, playground, local partners, and a silent auction - all in a beautiful park setting with wooded/shaded trails.

Be part of something meaningful. REGISTER NOW!

The vision for Let's Include Landon is that we create opportunities to bring children with and without disabilities together - not just for a day of an event, or a week of camp, but to create lifelong friendships. We cannot wait to see the mutually beneficial relationships grow. For children with disabilities they will benefit from being just as much a part of their community as their non-disabled peers, be part of a team, have a best friend, create true friendships, and have a sense of belonging. And non-disabled peers will benefit from learning compassion, patience, respect, kindness, citizenship, and understanding the value of differences and how to successfully work and play with people who are different.
