Women Aware's Moving Beyond Abuse 5K Race & Charity Walk will take place (rain or shine) on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Johnson Park - Grove 4 (click link for directions) in Piscataway, NJ. This is a USATF-Certified 5K flat course. For those who wish to run/walk a shorter course or simply support Women Aware by attending, there is an optional one-mile Charity Walk. Registration covers either option. Teams are encouraged to sign-up to run/walk together. All event proceeds benefit survivors and families moving beyond abuse through Women Aware.
The worry of leaving a beloved pet behind to escape abuse is a big reason some victim-survivors choose not to seek shelter. We want to change that by transitioning to a pet friendly shelter. Help Women Aware keep survivors and their beloved companion safe and together.
Register in advance of race day (up to 11:59pm on 10.8) and save $10! Advance registration is $40. Registration on race day will be $50. Free for children 11 and under. No charge for leashed furry companions.
Goldenseal the Band will perform LIVE at the event!
Fall Photo Booth - Walkers, runners, pets, and families can take a fun fall photo!
Dogs are welcome to walk with their owners during the 1-Mile Charity Walk, but will not be permitted on the 5K course during the race for the safety of all participants.
