Women's Only 5K Walk & Run Virtual Race

This year's race has come to a close. 892 virtual racers worked together from all over the Triad and the U.S. to raise $36,367.40 for breast health in our community. We cannot thank you enough and hope we can gather in person again soon!

Inspire. Empower. Celebrate. These three words embody the spirit of the Women’s Only 5K Walk & Run. Now in its 28th year, in keeping with social distancing guidelines, we are reformatting the race as a virtual event until we can safely gather all of you together again.

One of Greensboro’s oldest and most beloved Cone Health events, the Women's Only has always served to honor the resilience of not just breast cancer fighters and survivors, but our entire community. No matter what struggles we are facing, it’s important to find ways to connect, have fun and stay healthy. Keeping this tradition alive helps deliver that message.  It is our hope that by continuing the race as a virtual event, we are reinforcing Cone Health’s commitment to be right here with our community, especially during these unprecedented times.

Whether they are breast cancer survivors, avid runners, casual walkers or none of the above, women in the Triad love this event because of the support it provides to others in their breast health journey. Proceeds from the race fund the Cone Health Mammography Scholarship Fund and the Alight Program, which together can provide up to 600 uninsured or under-insured women a year with lifesaving mammograms, financial assistance, educational opportunities and emotional resources. Every dollar raised benefits breast cancer patients right here in our community.

Each year, Cone Health sees over 1,000 breast cancer patients, so the need for your support is just as great as it has always been. We hope you will help us make a difference. Help women in our community overcome the odds. Help us save even more lives. Register to race today!
