Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated- Xi Omega Chapter

THE RACE IS ON! The Norma E. Boyd 5K Race is back and registration is NOW OPEN!

Over the last 13 years, we’ve raised over $98,000 to continue our mission of funding dreams and providing scholarships to deserving DC high school seniors and continuing college students, giving them the resources to go further.

What started in 2012 as a single race has grown into a citywide movement, and last year our community doubled its goal, raising over $20,000 for scholars. Now it’s time to lace up and do it again.
