Women's History Month Virtual 5K with Foundation for Women Warriors

Lace up your shoes for a meaningful endeavor this March with the Women's History Month Virtual 5K, proudly presented by the Foundation for Women Warriors. From March 1st through March 31st, 2026, this inspiring virtual event invites you to run, walk, hike, or bike a 5K at your own pace, on your chosen course, and at any time that suits your schedule. This flexibility allows participants from anywhere to join in the celebration of trailblazing women and to share the stories of those who inspire them. While the event is organized out of Vista, CA, where typical March conditions see comfortable highs around 64F and lows near 50F with minimal chance of precipitation, your personal route could take you anywhere, from scenic trails to neighborhood paths.

What truly sets this 5K apart is its powerful mission: it's a free-to-register event designed to honor women's history while directly supporting the Foundation for Women Warriors. This esteemed 105-year-old non-profit is dedicated to empowering women veterans and their children by providing crucial services such as preventing homelessness, ensuring financial security, and offering vital assistance with childcare, education, and employment. Participants are encouraged to go a step further by becoming fundraisers, amplifying their impact for this vital cause.

Beyond the individual accomplishment, the Women's History Month Virtual 5K fosters a vibrant online community. Runners are encouraged to share their journey and results on social media, tagging the Foundation for Women Warriors for a chance to win various prizes, including FFWW merchandise and Starbucks gift cards. Forming a team also offers additional camaraderie and rewards, with team captains receiving a free tote bag when recruiting four or more members. Join this empowering event to celebrate history, challenge yourself, and contribute to a brighter future for women veterans and their families.
