Red S.H.O.E 5K Walk/Run

The Red S.H.O.E. (Self-Care, Healthy Options & Exercise) 5K Walk/Run is proudly sponsored by the Athens Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, an organization of college-educated women committed to empowering communities through public service, scholarships, and social action. On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Athens Alumnae Chapter will host its inaugural Red S.H.O.E. 5K Run/Walk, a community-centered, fun-filled event designed to promote physical and mental health and wellness. This event invites participants from Athens and the surrounding areas to engage in self-care, healthy lifestyle choices, and regular physical activity. Research has shown that both running and walking have a positive impact on overall physical and mental well-being, and we are excited to offer an opportunity that celebrates both health and community connection. Event proceeds will support the chapter’s five programmatic thrusts, including impactful community service initiatives and scholarships for college-bound high school seniors.
