Grab your running shoes, friends, and family and join ZCenter for our 5th Annual Race to Zero 5K run/walk to end sexual violence at 9 AM Sunday, April 23rd at Independence Grove in Libertyville. This event celebrates and coincides with Sexual Assault Awareness Month and is an opportunity for the public to come together to raise awareness and create a community of zero tolerance for sexual violence! Registration starts at 8 AM and the race begins at 9 AM sharp, rain or shine.  Registration for adults 13 and older is $25 and $15 for kids 12 and younger.  Participants are encouraged to form teams. Prices will increase March 31st. Register here or for mail-in registration, click here. This event has become one of ZCenter’s largest annual fundraisers! It is amazing to see the community come together to raise funds and awareness for survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Runners can fund raise either with their pledge form or online.  All runners who raise the minimum of $100 will receive a race t-shirt and shoe bag and all runners receive a race t-shirt.  Need help with your fundraising?
