About the Event

Why Race?

This isn’t just a 5K; it’s a statement. Every stride, every voice, every united effort sends a powerful message: we will not stop until racism is dismantled, institutions are transformed, and every person—especially women, girls, and people of color—is celebrated as Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.
Every dollar raised supports YWCA Lancaster's Center for Racial and Gender Equity (CRGE) and YWCA Lancaster’s essential education, training, advocacy, and community transformation programs.

Don’t just watch history happen—be part of it. Register now and take your first step toward a better future!
