Registration for HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run for Healthy Birth Outcomes Now Open

Registration is now open for the 10th annual HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run for Healthy Birth Outcomes – a part of Bronzeville Week 2025. The 15th Annual Bronzeville Week will take place August 2-9, with the HaRUNbee 5K set to kick off the week of activities the morning of Saturday, August 2.

The HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run for Healthy Birth Outcomes was designed to raise awareness and to prevent unhealthy birth outcomes across the nation. Organized by the National Coalition for Healthy Black Families (NCHBF), the mission of the HaRUNbee Walk/Run is to promote wellness by encouraging families to stay healthy and fit, both mentally and physically. Those interested in participating in the event as a runner, walker, or volunteer can learn more and register here. Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to register at special rates and compete for a trophy.

Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs is inviting community members to participate in and support this year’s 5K. “The HaRUNbee Walk/Run has helped to raise awareness of infant mortality, which disproportionally impacts communities of color in Milwaukee,” she said. “By joining the 5K as a runner, walker or general supporter, you can play an important part as we work to reduce infant mortality and to promote better physical and mental health. If you have not had a chance to participate in the HaRUNbee Walk/Run before, I encourage you join us in this great cause.”
