At the Victoria Strauss Foundation, we believe love is more than a feeling—it’s a choice, an action, and a force that can change lives. Love is meant to be put into motion. We put love into motion through dance and education scholarships, hardship support, acts of kindness, mental health initiatives, and community outreach. Every day, we strive to turn compassion into action and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. The Love in Motion Walk/Run is an opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate someone special, honor the life and legacy of someone we’ve lost, or celebrate someone whose light continues to shine in our lives. Because love doesn’t end when someone is gone. And it doesn’t have to wait for a special occasion to be celebrated. Love lives on in the memories we carry, the people we cherish, and the kindness we give to others. As you walk or run, you’ll have the opportunity to submit the name of a loved one—someone you’ve lost or someone whose prese

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
