Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.


Join us for a meaningful and exciting Race for NEC Awareness! This family-friendly event brings together community, compassion, and fun—all for an important cause.


 📅 Date: October 17th
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

📍 Location: Occoquan Regional Park

Enjoy a morning filled with food, music, and activities for all ages. We’ll have a dedicated kids’ area to keep the little ones entertained, making this an event the whole family can enjoy.


Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition that mostly affects premature babies, where part of the intestine becomes inflamed and can be damaged or start to die. It can lead to infection and problems with digestion. Early signs may include feeding intolerance, a swollen belly, and changes in behavior, and it requires immediate medical care.


This race is being held to raise awareness and funds for the NEC Society. We are proud to donate 15% of all proceeds to support efforts in finding a cure for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious disease affecting infants.


Be sure to pre order raffle tickets for just $5 each for a chance to win amazing prizes generously provided by our dedicated sponsors!


Come out, get active, and make a difference. Together, we can bring hope and support to families impacted by NEC.


Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.
