Remember your loved one. Support others on their journey. Our annual walk/run is an opportunity for surviving loved ones to remember and reflect on the lives that were taken from them. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness and funding to help us support others enduring the grief process.
The NCVAN 14th Annual Know Hope 5K is a community memorial walk and run dedicated to supporting individuals grieving the loss of a loved one. Organized by the North Carolina Victim Assistance Network, this event raises funds to provide grief support services across the state. What to Know: The event takes place at Lake Benson Park in Garner, which offers flat, paved paths perfect for strollers and wagons. Registration is $30 per participant, and there is plenty of free parking on-site. Pack water bottles and snacks for the kids, as the park also features a great playground where children can play after the run. This is a meaningful weekend choice if you want to teach your older children about community support while enjoying a morning of active movement in a beautiful, shaded park.
