The Human Race is a 5k walk/run that allows participants to raise money for their favorite nonprofit (agency, school PTA, church, etc.). The Volunteer Center has managed the race since 1994!

The Human Race is a unique way for our community to come together:

  • About 100 different nonprofits form teams and recruit members to fundraise for their missions
  •  Dozens of companies form teams and their employees can choose the cause they are most passionate about
  • About 250 runners (including running clubs and school athletic teams) run the competitive 5K, also a part of the Greensboro Race Series
