About this event

The Neighborhood Community Development Center of the Urban Mission proudly presents "Stop the Violence" 5K Walk/Run. This event provides our community with an opportunity to not only address the issue of violent crimes but to educate our community on the growing concern of violence as a minority health disparity. Each mile is dedicated to victims of violent crimes, mile markers along the route will display the names of community loved ones lost to violence. In addition, the 5K promotes wellness and encourages family and community exercise. The 5K will feature a sidewalk health fair which will begin at 11:00 am and run the duration of the event. The health fair will include local health agencies, who will provide health information, blood pressure screenings, and giveaways. The 5K will also feature a balloon release/memorial, an important piece of the opening ceremony (beginning at 12:00 pm). Honorable Mayor Jerry Barilla will provide an official city welcome for the 5K and he will be joined by City Councilwoman Asantewa Anyabwile, representatives from the Steubenville NAACP Health Committee and more. Participants will have an opportunity to enter for a chance to win one of our 5K raffle prizes.

Registration is now open!

This event is funded by the Ohio Commission on Minority Health, and sponsored by NDCD.
