BoomX Generational Health's Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk

Join Us for BoomX Generational Health's Inaugural Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 22, 2025, as we lace up for the BoomX Generational Health’s Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk in Houston! This event is more than a race—it’s a celebration of freedom, resilience, and health within the African-American community.

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, first celebrated in Texas when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Galveston on June 19, 1865. As we honor this historic milestone, we also recognize the need to foster health and wellness in our communities today.

According to the CDC, African Americans face higher rates of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease compared to other groups. Physical activity, like walking or running, is a proven method to lower these risks and improve both physical and mental health. However, fewer than 25% of Black adults meet recommended activity levels due to systemic barriers such as access and awareness. This is where BoomX Generational Health steps in.

Our Juneteenth 5K aims to promote movement, awareness, and empowerment, providing a fun and accessible way to encourage healthy lifestyles. With additional features like on-site wellness checks, health education booths, and family-friendly activities, this event will inspire participants to take charge of their well-being while uniting generations.

Let’s celebrate freedom by fostering fitness! Join us as we walk, run, and thrive together for a healthier future. Registration includes a finisher medal and an event t-shirt. Sign up today and take the first step toward health, history, and community pride!

Since their inception, Team Hope Walks have raised more than $14 million and involved tens of thousands of participants from local communities across America. Proceeds from Team Hope support the mission and programs of HDSA, the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s disease. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with Huntington’s disease and their families.
