The annual AIDS 5K Walk/Run originally scheduled for June will now be held in September. ACR Health postponed the 33rd annual event last month over concerns about unhealthy air quality caused by Canadian wildfire smoke.

The agency’s largest fundraiser is now scheduled for September 18th at the same location, Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool at the Saw Mill Creek Shelter.

The walk-run raises funds and awareness for local HIV-AIDS prevention, education and treatment programs. Registration is available online.
