Maddie's Message Race to Secure 5K

The Maddie's Message Race to Secure 5K is a family-friendly running event held on the iconic Virginia Beach boardwalk at 2405 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, VA. This 5K race combines the invigorating ocean air and scenic coastal views with a meaningful cause: raising awareness about furniture tip-over hazards to promote child safety. Participants run to honor the legacy of Maddie, a young girl whose life was lost due to an unsecured piece of furniture.

The event supports critical safety initiatives, including public awareness campaigns and distribution of furniture anchors, aiming to raise $50,000 to prevent injuries and save lives. It fosters community involvement and advocacy for stronger safety standards in homes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
