Juneteenth March 4M Run, Walk, & Roll

Come run, walk, and roll at this year’s 4 mile route on June 19th, 2025 @ Central Park, NYC, starting at 10AM!

EMERGE125 is proud to be a part of the Annual Juneteenth March founded as a march to New York City Hall in 2020 to highlight multiple injustices and reforms at the center of the city's power. The event was initially started by James Felton Keith and Tiffany Rea-Fisher, two neighbors in Harlem that came together with a larger group of activists weeks earlier and after the murder of George Floyd. It was a beautiful non-violent march from Harlem down 5th Ave to the Upper East Side of Manhattan that grew to thousands of New Yorkers as it moved south.

All proceeds from the Juneteenth March go towards the building fund of the Harlem Center.  The center is a 10-year effort started by a coalition of +30 New York centered, community based organizations (CBOs). Harlem Center will increase the capacity to address unmet needs and gaps in service delivery. 

Address: 5th Ave & East 69th Street, New York, NY, 10128
