Raising Awareness and Support for Down Syndrome Individuals

Cairn University Athletics and RUN 12:1 Running Club are excited to once again host the Rock Your Socks 3.21 mile run/walk for Down Syndrome. So, be sure to wear your most colorful, crazy, and/or mismatched socks to raise awareness and support for Down Syndrome individuals! 




World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is celebrated every year on March 21st (3/21) because people with down syndrome are born with 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. And because crazy and colorful socks are a symbol of WDSD, we ask everyone to wear the craziest most colorful pair (or miss-matched pair) of socks they can during the race to help raise awareness for down syndrome.

Prizes will be awarded to those with the craziest socks at the live event.

The proceeds from this event will go toward the Cairn Student Scholarship Fund for a student planning to work with special needs individuals.

Register now for either our 5K or our family-friendly 1 mile fun run. There is also a virtual option for those who prefer or are unable to join us in person on March 23rd.
