Be a SHEro 5K Run/Walk

Celebrate strength and solidarity at the Be A SHEro 5K Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in the heart of Kokomo, Indiana. This empowering event, marking its second annual edition, is dedicated exclusively to women and girls, fostering a supportive community while commemorating International Women's Day. As a chip-timed 5K run and walk, it offers a fantastic opportunity for participants of all fitness levels to hit the pavement. Younger aspiring SHEros can also join the fun with the Little SHEro Sprint, a delightful 1/4 mile dash for girls aged 10 and under.

The scenic course navigates through three of Kokomo's cherished local trails, offering a refreshing and engaging route as you stride towards the finish line. Typical race day conditions in early March present brisk highs around 45°F and lows around 25°F, with a modest 13% chance of precipitation, so dressing in layers is advisable. Each participant in the 5K receives a custom race t-shirt, a unique race sticker, and a commemorative finisher medal to celebrate their accomplishment. This event is more than just a race; it's a vibrant part of the broader Kokomo Women's Expo, with on-site registration and expo activities often centered around Grace United Methodist Church.

Beyond the personal achievement, your participation in the Be A SHEro 5K Run/Walk contributes directly to a vital cause. All proceeds after event costs are donated to the Family Service Association of Howard County Domestic Violence Shelter, building on previous years' success that saw over $6,000 raised to support local women in need. Join the Club Kokomo Roadrunners and Palmer's Jewelry for a fun and inspiring day, embracing the sisterhood of women and making a tangible difference in the community.
