Here and Now Project 5K for Today

The Here and Now Project 5K for Today offers an inspiring and accessible experience on August 9, 2026, in Puyallup, WA. This seventh annual event invites runners, walkers, and rollers of all abilities to Rogers High School and the scenic Nathan Chapman Trail for a 5K that's celebrated for its fast and flat course. Participants can anticipate ideal running conditions, with typical August race day temperatures reaching highs around 78F and lows near 58F, coupled with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation.

What truly distinguishes the Here and Now Project 5K for Today is its powerful mission to empower the paralysis community. As a hybrid event, you can join the in-person race in Puyallup or participate virtually from anywhere between August 9-16, with the ambitious goal of having at least one participant from every state. Every step taken helps fund vital outreach, support groups, and recreational activities that directly benefit individuals affected by paralysis. All registrants will receive a race bib, an event t-shirt, a finisher medal, and a sticker to commemorate their contribution to this impactful cause. Convenient race day packet pickup is available at Rogers High School from 11:00 AM to 11:55 AM, with the 5K officially kicking off at 12:00 PM. Join this supportive community and make a tangible difference.
