🏃♀️ Run Upside Down: 5K, Buddy Walk & Block Party
Join us Saturday, October 3 on Historic C-Street for Run Upside Down, a family-friendly celebration of inclusion, community, and individuals with Down syndrome!
🏃♀️ 5K Run at 8:30 AM
A 3.21-mile run through Historic C-Street. Come run, walk, or cheer on the participants!
💙 Buddy Walk® at 9:30 AM
The Buddy Walk is a shorter, family-friendly walk celebrating individuals with Down syndrome and bringing our community together. You can choose an individual or team representing someone with Down syndrome to support, or create your own Buddy Walk team and invite your friends, family, coworkers, or community to join you! The Buddy Walk is all about celebrating, supporting, and walking together!
🎉 Block Party — Following the Walk
The celebration continues after the walk with food, fun, local businesses, community activities, and more! Everyone is welcome to join the Block Party, even if you didn’t participate in the 5K or Buddy Walk.
Whether you come to run, walk, cheer, or celebrate, we can’t wait to see you at Run Upside Down! 💙💛
