CORDUSA Raleigh 10th Annual Charity 5K Run
June 21st, 2025
Join the Movement! Support Community Empowerment!
For the past ten years, the Cord Run has brought community members together at WakeMed Soccer Park to raise funds for important causes, and this year marks our 10th annual event. This year, the proceeds will benefit the Wake County Women’s Shelter and development initiatives in rural India.
The Cord Run is a celebration of community service, promoting unity and support for both youth and women. We are proud to host this event, which not only helps raise important funds for both local and international causes but also empowers participants to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most.
