Cincinnati AIDS Walk + 5K/10K Run 2026

This event is now over.

We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again—our community is amazing! Not only did you Get Your Wigs On (which were fabulous by the way) at the 2026 AIDS Walk + 5K/10K on March 29 at Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum but you also showed up BIG time: we had 658 participants!

Thanks to you, we raised more than $85K! Whether you showed up in a wig, running shoes or just to cheer, you helped move our fight against HIV forward. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Full race results can be found here.
