Purple Strides: A DVAM Virtual 5K

Join the Center for Health and Well-being and the GVSU Violence Prevention Task Force for the inaugural Purple Strides: A DVAM Virtual 5K on October 30, 2026!

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is an opportunity to raise awareness about domestic and intimate partner violence, honor the experiences of survivors, and remind our community that support is available. This October, lace up, wear purple, and move with us in recognition of survivors and in support of communities working toward safety, healthy relationships, and an end to violence.

Whether you run, walk, roll, or move at your own pace, your participation helps amplify an important message: everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in their relationships and communities.

The Purple Strides 5K is a virtual event, so you can complete your 5K wherever you are. Gather your friends, roommates, teammates, coworkers, or family and show your support by getting active and wearing purple on October 30th.

Move. Wear Purple. Raise Awareness.

Who: GVSU Community and Supporters

Where: Wherever You Are! Complete your 5K wherever you feel comfortable—on campus, in your neighborhood, at the gym, or on your favorite trail.

Cost: 35.00 per person

T-shirts are available with each paid registration!
