Hip~Hop 5k for The Creatives

About This Event

The Hip Hop 5K is more than a run — it's a movement for creatives.

This event is the first official fundraiser benefiting Protect The Creatives, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and protecting songwriters, artists, and music creators.

Protect The Creatives helps artists understand music publishing, register copyrights, manage metadata, access grants, and build sustainable careers while maintaining ownership of their work.

The Hip Hop 5K brings the community together through health, music, and culture while raising funds to expand these programs.

Participants will run, walk, and celebrate to the sound of hip hop while supporting the creatives who shape the culture.
