5k with ME

This is more than a race, it’s a celebration of sisterhood, wellness, and community. We’re bringing even more energy and inclusivity to next year’s event with two exciting additions:

- Sisterhood Challenge (Group Challenge): We're challenging YOU to invite your sisters to join the movement! Whether they're friends, family, co-workers, or part of your Masjid, Church or Synagogue, build your team and show up strong. The biggest group will win special special perks - more details coming soon, so start rallying your crew. Deadline to win is 12/31/26

1 Mile Race Options: We're introducing a 1 mile race to make the experience even more accessible to everyone. Whether you're just getting started or simply want a shorter distance, this is your chance to cross the finish line with confidence.

Whether you're running 1 mile, or 3 miles, you’ll be part of the full 5K with ME experience, shirt, Nasheeds, community, and all! The 1 Mile is perfect for new runners, families, and anyone who wants to be part of the celebration without going the full 5K.

- NEW: Cheer Squad: 

We’re introducing a powerful new way to be part of race day, because showing up for your sister is just as meaningful as crossing the finish line.

The Cheer Squad is for those who will:

• Line the course and finish line
• Encourage, uplift, and energize participants
• Be part of the spirit that carries runners forward

In racing, it’s often the encouragement along the way that helps someone keep going when it gets hard.

Cheer Squad participants will receive:

• A special cheer shirt
• A place along the course and at the finish line
• A role at the heart of the sisterhood experience

Cost: $15

Location:
The race starts and finishes inside Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (Formerly Westside Park), with an out-and-back course along the scenic Proctor Creek Trail.
