About the Event

William Peace University is hosting the Peace Pacer 5K on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Our goal is to bring together hundreds of students, alumni, and the greater Raleigh community to run or walk to support Peace students. At William Peace University, our students engage with real-world challenges both inside and outside the classroom everyday. That spirit of overcoming challenges has inspired the proceeds of this race to benefit the Peace Cares Fund. This fund supports students when they encounter an unexpected financial burden or crisis to ensure their continued enrollment and success as Pacers. The race will start and end on Peace's Main Lawn with a festival to follow for runners and spectators.

We hope you will join us!

About Raleigh

The capital of North Carolina and the largest city of the Research Triangle, Raleigh is the primary political and economic driver of the metro area. Indeed, business and politics are the main draws to Raleigh, which lacks the more trendy feel or active arts scene of Durham or Chapel Hill to the west. However, a concerted effort to expand the residential base and move events downtown has led to significantly expanded retail and restaurant options in the downtown core. Also, visitors will find many of the state's cultural institutions here, namely a major performing arts center downtown and three state museums, and a college town atmosphere in the neighborhood around the campus of North Carolina State University, the state's largest university.
