Lace-up your running shoes and join us for our Inaugural Run Discrimination Out of Town virtual walkathon/runathon! We invite you to join us in creating inclusive communities that enhance opportunities for all.

What is Run Discrimination Out of Town?


Run Discrimination Out of Town is new fundraiser being held by The Fair Housing Center! People of all ages are invited to get pledges from their family, friends, and neighbors and come together to complete a virtual walkathon/runathon. Some create teams and others participate as individuals.


What is a Virtual Walkathon/Runathon?


A virtual walkathon/runathon is an event that allows participants to complete a designated distance at their own pace and in their own location. Unlike traditional walkathons/runathons, where participants gather at a specific location and complete the distance together, virtual events provide flexibility for participants to participate from anywhere in the world.


Will there be in-person events?


Yes, The Fair Housing Center is proudly partnering with Metroparks Toledo and will be hosting three in-person events. Our events are intended to be accessible and open to all. The following are the event locations and times:


  • August 26, 2023, from 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. at Wildwood Metropark at the Whitetail Shelter
  • September 9, 2023, from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M. at Oak Openings Metropark at the Mallard Lake Shelter
  • September 30, 2023, from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M. at Pearson Metropark at the Pearson Playground Shelter
