Palm Beach MLK Day 5/10K

Description

Come join us at the first annual race in Palm Beach County celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Join hundreds of other like-minded people as we pursue Dr. King’s dream of equality, particular in health and economics, in what promises to be the most diverse athletic event in Palm Beach County. This event has something for everyone including kids races, 1-mile, 5k and 10k races as well as an aerobics class for seniors.  Participants, sponsors and exhibitors will be joining resources to share their passions to end racism, improve health outcomes and support small local minority-owned businesses.

A portion of proceeds from this event will be used to offset the costs for participants looking to improve their health, but are not able cover the full costs of registration.  Net proceeds also help provide educational programs as well as other resources to  small minority-owned businesses in Palm Beach County through the efforts of the volunteers of two nonprofit organizations, the Black Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County and the Equity Entrepreneur Center. 

DIVINE NINE 5K CHALLENGE
Black Greek-letter fraternities and sororities are invited to come out and compete for trophies just for you. The fraternity and sorority with the most number of registered members will each earn the coveted trophy which they will have to defend at next year's event.  Fraternities and sororities have been provided with their own unique promo codes through the National Pan-Hellenic Council of Palm Beach County. A portion of the registration fees from members of fraternities and sororities belonging to the NPHCPBC will go towards supporting the organization.
