Domestic Violence Awareness month culminates with Light the Night Oct. 20 at Riverview Park
With October designated Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Carson City-based Advocates to End Domestic Violence will hold a Light the Night 5K and 10K Walk/Run at Riverview Park on October 20.
This event, a fundraiser for Advocates, is a spinoff of the national Take Back the Night campaign, bringing it closer to home and creating Carson City's own event to bring awareness to domestic violence and sexual assault, said Traci Trenoweth, volunteer coordinator for Advocates.
Beginning at the east of of Riverview Park, the area will be well-lit for walkers and runners.
Check in and warm up begin at 5:30 p.m. with the race starting at 6 p.m. All registrants will receive a T-shirt and glow stick. Entrance fees vary, dependent upon date of registration. Get the registration form here or at Classy Seconds Thrift Shop, 411 Hot Springs Road, or through Active.com. Contact Traci in the Advocates office with questions, (775) 883-7654.
