The Race 2025 is here, and we’re ready to celebrate ENDURANCE like never before! Year 8 is all about building on the LEGACY established in 2018—eight years of not just conquering miles on the pavement, but also strengthening our community, prioritizing wellness, and driving economic empowerment. We’re continuing to create space for Black runners and walkers to push boundaries, support one another, and invest in the future together.

 

As we prepare for Year 8, The Race is more than just a road race—it’s a weekend full of purpose, passion, and pride. We’re committed to supporting Black-owned businesses, uplifting neighborhoods, and giving back to local charities. Our goal is to deliver a top-tier, world-class race experience with excellence at every step. Expect a dynamic live expo, an exciting half marathon and 5K road race, and virtual options for participants who want to join from all over the world. Don’t miss the Community Impact Service Day, where The Race Foundation partners with the community to make a lasting difference and drive real change.

This isn’t just a race. It’s THE Race. A race for the culture, by the culture. Get ready to be part of something truly special. Year 8 is going to be legendary—let’s make it unforgettable!
