Weāre honored to support the inaugural MOVE Day 5K, a community race commemorating the 1985 bombing of MOVE, which resulted in the loss of 11 lives, including 5 children, and the destruction of 61 homes.
The race will be held on May 16th, beginning at Drexel Park and ending at the MOVE Historic Marker, with space for people of all ages to run, walk, or move in their own way. Physical health and movement were central to MOVEās daily practice, and this gathering reflects that legacy.
The official MOVE Day 5K T-Shirt is now available, featuring the names of those we honor on the back. Please place orders by tomorrow, May 5th, to receive it in time for the race. All net proceeds will support the Reclaim Osage Campaign.
Registration and t-shirts available at the link in bio.
