The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities will host the “Minority Health 5K Walk/Run/Roll” on NIH’s Bethesda campus at 11:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Apr. 18, in observance of National Minority Health Month.  

The course will begin (rain or shine) on the lawn in front of Bldg. 1. Participants will exit campus, travel the perimeter and return through security. To register, visit https://forms.office.com/g/UCMbY6yRt4
