Strides for STEM 5K

Welcome to the Strides for STEM 5K, the premier run/walk event supporting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) outreach and community building in the Research Triangle.

Formerly known as NC DNA Day 5K, this event has a proud history of supporting STEM education and outreach in North Carolina. Funds raised from this event will support STEM outreach programs such as the WinSPIRE Research Program. These programs aim to break down barriers surrounding STEM-based careers by allowing high school students to interact directly with STEM professionals from leading research institutions in North Carolina.

Strides for STEM aims to unite STEM groups throughout the NC Research Triangle and beyond to promote community, outreach, and inclusivity for all STEM fields. By supporting STEM education and outreach, we can create a more vibrant and diverse community of STEM professionals in the Research Triangle and beyond.

Whether you are a seasoned runner, a novice walker, or just looking for a fun family activity, we invite you to join us for Strides for STEM 5K. Let’s step forward together to support STEM outreach and community building in the Research Triangle!
