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):

Here Are Your Options:

We still plan on the same fun as before! Enjoy a DJ, raffle prizes, and the vibrant energy of our LLT community celebrating together. We will transfer your registration to the new event date once it is set, and look forward to having you join us. 


Packet Pickup will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2025 from 4:30pm to 7:00pm at Road Runner Sports – Arlington: 1101 S Joyce Street, Arlington, VA 22209

More logistics will come soon! Thank you for your understanding!

Virtual races happen all the time, and allow you to join the fun without the crowds. You simply run the distance on your own, and report your results - we’ll send you instructions. 

You can pick up your t-shirt and medal at our first packet pickup on Thursday, October 9, 2025, from 4:30–7:00 p.m. at Road Runner Sports – Arlington: 1101 S Joyce Street, Arlington, VA 22209


Second packet pickup: Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 8:00–10:00 a.m. at the Hains Point Park entrance: 972 Ohio Drive SW, Washington, DC


Third packet pickup: Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 4:30-7:00pm at Road Runner Sports – Arlington: 1101 S Joyce Street, Arlington, VA 22209


Raffle clarification: For participants who select the virtual option and have already purchased raffle tickets, your name will automatically be entered into the raffle which will be held on Nov 15. We will contact you to deliver your prizes if you win.

Since the LLT 5K is a fundraiser supporting our nonprofit programs, you want us to keep your registration fee and allow all proceeds to directly benefit Latinas Leading Tomorrow. I know that every dollar raised, helps and our mission to empower and uplift the next generation of Latina leaders. We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you at an event soon.

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.

SPECIAL NOTE: This year, LLT Alumni will get a special shirt with the use of their discount code. Alumni Survey link: https://tinyurl.com/LLTAlumniForm
