Lucky 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Albuquerque

The Lucky 5K/10K/Half Marathon is proud to have the Native Health Initiative as it's 2026 Charity Partner.

Native Health Initiative (NHI) was founded in 2005 and works to address health inequities in Indigenous Communities. We have three focus areas: 1) Movement is Medicine, 2) Building Youth Leaders, and 3) Indigenizing Wellness. At the heart of NHI’s work is the concept of “Loving Service.” Loving Service comes from our founders' desire to tap into the inherent need that we all have as humans to give a bit of ourselves to others. Loving Service is individuals providing the human-to-human element of serving others - through actions, through understanding, and through addressing needs from the lens of cooperation and not dictation. We see it as working and volunteering out of a deep desire to affect positive change using strength-based approaches to addressing systemic inequities.

Volunteering for this race can earn you a $50 Visa Gift Card.

Here's how it works: 1) You sign up to volunteer on the Volunteer page. 2) You recruit 3 (three) others - 15 years or older - to volunteer for this race and have them sign up on the Volunteer page and put Your Name when it asks who recruited them. 3) You and your recruits show up on race day and volunteer for the entire race. 4) After the race, if all qualifications are met, Five Star NTP will mail you your $50 Visa Gift card.

Get started by going to the Volunteer Page to sign up for this race.
