## Description

About the Event
Step Up & Step Out brings our community together to help neighbors build resilience and move forward. Join The Up Center’s annual fundraising event to climb, run, and walk in support of children, families, and individuals across Hampton Roads. Whether you take on the stair climb inside Harbor Park or join the 2-mile run/walk, every step helps connect our neighbors with care, encouragement, and support for what comes next.

Event Highlights

Two Events, One Cause: Choose between the stair climb challenge or the 2 mile run/walk.
Family-Friendly: Runners, walkers, strollers, and all fitness levels welcome.
Community Impact: Every step you take helps The Up Center provide life-changing services—from foster care and adoption to mental health counseling, housing support, and youth mentoring.

Celebrate Together: Post-race celebration with music, refreshments, and recognition of top fundraisers and finishers.
