The Monet Richardson Community Foundation’s annual Running with the Angels 5K Run & Walk in 2025 will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at East Chapel Hill High School, bringing together the local community to support a noble cause.
“As Krissy’s mother I am honored to continue her legacy of work especially as it relates to the backpack program which she so modestly started. Krissy saw a need in the community via the YMCA Chapel Hill-Carrboro Y-Learning Program and she decided to do something about it. How many of us can say we actually do this? I know I haven’t always so I am honored to step into these large shoes and continue the work she started,” said executive director Pat Richardson in a press release. “The 5K Walk & Run with the Angels allows MRCF to continue this work with the proceeds raised from our runners, walkers, donors, sponsors, and more. We celebrate 3 years for this community event and look forward to many more to come.”
According to the MRCF, this event draws participants from all walks of life, including community supporters, students, families, businesses, and dedicated volunteers with the aim to unite the community and create a positive impact by raising awareness and rallying support for youth in our area. Registration opened in October, and individuals or teams are encouraged to sign up through the RunSignUp page.
Participants can expect a professionally designed 5K course, officially mapped and certified by US Track and Field, complete with chip timing to enhance their racing experience. The race will commence at the baseball field of East Chapel Hill High School and wind its way through a neighboring community adjacent to the school.
Early registration fees are $35 for adults and $20 for individuals aged 18 and under, which includes a swag bag. Prices will increase after March 15, at 11:59 PM EST, to $40 for adults. Participants will enjoy complimentary food and beverages graciously provided by our sponsors. Prizes will be awarded to top winners in various age and gender categories, adding an exciting competitive element.
The Monet Richardson Community Foundation is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and young community members. Our Backpack and Academic Scholarship Programs provide essential support and resources, ensuring a brighter future for these promising minds.
