October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and CSVANW is hosting our annual I Will Run for Them virtual 5K Run/Walk & 1K Kid awareness run to honor the resilience, strength and spirit of our Native relatives impacted by domestic violence.
We go virtual again this year to support the health of our communities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will have two days (October 23rd & 24th, 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.
Although registration is closed for our I Will Run for Them virtual 5K, and if you missed registration or you’ve just learned/discovered our virtual 5K you can still participate and dedicate your 5K. We at CSVANW have been organizing and shifting our efforts to the best of our ability to meet community where they’re at.
You get to choose the starting line wherever you are. The purpose of our I Will Run for Them Virtual 5K is to be in solidarity wherever you are. So, join us and dedicate your 5K to those affected by domestic violence and sexual violence in our families and communities. You can do this by yourself, with friend(s), family, pets, or with an organization.
