LLT 5K Rescheduled: We’re Still Running/Walking for a Cause!
New Date: November 15, 2025
Dear LLT 5K Participants as of October 7, 2025,
We hope you’re doing well. We’re writing with an important update about the Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) 5K.
Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, we are unable to host the race at our original venue, Hains Point. After confirming with the National Park Service, we learned that all restrooms at Hains Point will remain locked and all entrance gates will be closed, making the area fully inaccessible for events. To ensure everyone’s safety and provide a positive race-day experience, we will reschedule the LLT 5K to a new date, location, and time.
New Race Details:
👉 Date: Saturday, November 15, 2025
👉 Location: Bluemont Park, 329 N Manchester St, Arlington, VA 22203
👉 Time: 9am
We’re so grateful for your patience, flexibility, and continued support as we make this adjustment. All existing participants now have three options to select from to stay involved and continue supporting LLT’s mission (Selections due by Wednesday, October 15, 2025):

Description
Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) is addressing the unique challenges and barriers faced by Latinas in their academic success and personal development. We recognize that schools often overlook the cultural, language, and socio-economic needs of Latino students, and we aim to bridge this gap through cultural responsiveness and mentorship.
Come out and enjoy our 5K in Arlington, VA at Bluemont Park. We invite you to support our upcoming 4th annual Reach for the Stars 5K Run/Walk, where funds raised will directly contribute to our efforts in empowering Latina students. We have an ambitious goal of $60,000 this year. We are confident that with the help of individuals, corporate sponsorships, and the community coming together, we can reach this goal!
Thank you for your support in addressing the unique challenges faced by Latina students and promoting their academic success and personal development.
