Our annual #IWillRunForThem goes virtual again. This October, we will once again create space to honor survivors, cycle-breakers and our relatives who we have lost to violence. We invite you to dedicate your run, jog, or walk to  your loved ones affected by the imbalance violence creates. You get to choose the starting line wherever you are: run, jog, or walk at your own pace and on your own terms. We are all in this together.

Running is healing. Running is medicine.

4 out of 5 Native Women will experience violence in her life…this is not just a statistic; it is our mothers, sisters, and daughters. Our communities are experiencing an imbalance and we need space to heal so that we honor the beauty of her resiliency.

Like last year, participants will have two days (October 23rd & 24^th, 2021) to complete a 5K run, jog, walk and/or any form of movement that they are able to and have access to in their home community connecting with the land that cares for them.
