THIS IS OPEN TO EVERYBODY ISN\u2019T IT? THAT\u2019S CORRECT. YEAH. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUST THE HISTORY. HOW DID THIS ALL GET UNDERWAY. SO WE STARTED IT FOUR YEARS AGO TO HONOR AHMAUD ARBERY, WHO WAS MURDERED AROUND THIS TIME ON FEBRUARY 23RD. SO WE ALWAYS HAVE IT AROUND THAT TIME. BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLATFORM FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BEGIN THEIR HEALTH JOURNEY, CONTINUE THEIR HEALTH JOURNEY. AND SO WE\u2019VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. YEAH. SO BLACK MEN RUN THE ALSO AS AN ORGANIZATION HAS ALSO JUST BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE? WHY DID YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO TO JOIN? WELL, I FEEL COMPELLED TO JOIN. WELL, AS PART OF THE PURPOSE OF BLACK MEN RUN, IT WAS ABOUT ESSENTIALLY CREATING A GENERATIONAL HEALTH. AND IN MY CASE, MY HEALTH WAS STARTING TO DECLINE A LITTLE BIT. AND SO I NEEDED TO TO GET OUT AND FORTUNATELY, I CAME ACROSS THIS GROUP AND, YOU KNOW, GOT GOT FIT, GOT GOING. AND, YOU KNOW, FEELING MUCH BETTER THAN I USED TO. YEAH. ONE STEP AT A TIME. RIGHT. AND THIS FIVE K RUN. YEAH. IT\u2019S OPEN TO EVERYBODY. ABSOLUTELY. VERY INCLUSIVE NONCOMPETITIVE EVENT. WE WANT FAMILIES TO COME OUT, HAVE A LITTLE COMPETITION. RIGHT. MAYBE SOME BRAGGING RIGHTS ARE THERE. BUT THIS ALSO DOES HELP SUPPORT ANOTHER GROUP. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MORE MORE ABOUT THAT. SURE. IT IS THE CAPITAL CITY BLACK NURSING ASSOCIATION, WHICH CHAMPIONS HEALTH EQUITY, PROMOTES COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AND PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NURSING STUDENTS. SO WHAT CAN FOLKS EXPECT WHEN THEY COME OUT ON RACE DAY SO THEY CAN EXPECT FUN? WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE A DJ. WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE REFRESHMENTS. WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE RAFFLE PRIZES. WE ALSO HAVE A FITNESS VILLAGE. AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT FITNESS VILLAGE IS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIMARILY, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, BIPOC AND FEMALE OWNED FITNESS ORGANIZATIONS TO SHARE THEIR SERVICES WITH THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO GIVE THE COMMUNITY MULTIPLE OPTIONS IN TERMS OF THEIR FITNESS, BEYOND RUNNING OR WALKING. OKAY, AND BIPOC, BLACK INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF COLOR. VERY NICE. AND OKAY, SO IT\u2019S NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER. THERE\u2019S STILL PLENTY OF TIME, RIGHT? YES. WHERE SHOULD FOLKS GO?
