Information

We’re excited to invite you to be part of a meaningful, energizing, and community-centered event this fall — the Healing in Motion LA: Glow & Grow 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run, happening on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Cate Street Square in Hammond, LA.

This race isn’t just about movement — it’s about momentum for healing. In honor of those impacted by domestic violence, we’re blending the power of wellness, community action, and celebration to uplift survivors, raise awareness, and fund local support services.

Event Details:

We anticipate a host of runners, walkers, and families gathering for an unforgettable afternoon of movement and meaning. With our “Glow & Grow” theme, this afternoon event transforms the darkness into a radiant after-race glow party — creating space for healing, empowerment, and transformation through collective energy, movement, and light.

✨ Race & Celebration: Enjoy a timed 5K run or a relaxed 1-Mile Fun Walk, followed by an after-party that brings the community together in music, glow, and celebration.

🌿 Wellness & Support Vendors: Local wellness, fitness, and lifestyle partners will be on-site to share the benefits of their businesses, provide resources, and celebrate with us.

💡 Why Attend: This is more than just a race — it’s a community experience rooted in movement, legacy, and light. Together, we’ll honor the past, celebrate the present, and glow into the future. All participants will receive a custom Glow & Grow shirt. Winners in various categories will receive a custom Glow & Grow medal.

About Hammond

Learn more about the host city, Hammond.

Hammond is a Chicagoland city of some 76,000 people (2019) in Lake County, Indiana—bordering Chicago's Far Southeast Side. Most visitors will find themselves passing through or on business, but Chicagoans would do well to include it in a close-in Lake County day trip, if for no other reason than to get some good food, perhaps stock up on fireworks, and realize that Chicagoland doesn't stop at the state line!
