Description

The Women's Distance Festival 5K is now the premier women's and girl's only 5K running or walking event in the tri-state area. Ladies, this is your race! Please join us for the 31st Annual Women's Distance Festival 5K Run/Walk on Saturday July 14th and help us raise money to help the Center for Safety and Change in their mission to end domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking and to provide services to its victims!

We also would like to ask race participants and supporters to make a donation to the Center for Safety and Change in and increment of 31 dollars to honor the 31 year history of this race so they can reach their goal of purchasing a second shelter to house more women and children who are victims. Currently the shelter the Center has can only house 15 women and children, and unfortunately that is not enough room to house and support the victims of these terrible crimes.

Sign up for the 5K and compete as an individual or create a Mother/Daughter, Sister/Sister, or Grandmother/Granddaughter team. We also have a team event for groups of 5 or more!

Online Registration is $25 for Rockland Road Runner members, and $30for non-members. Team registrations are available for Mother/Daughter, Sister/Sister, or Grandmother/Granddaughter at $50 provided that at least one team member is a Rockland Road Runner. If neither is a Rockland Road Runner, then the cost will be $60. Teams of 5 runners/walkers are available for a discounted cost of $25 a team member provided that the team meets a minimum requirement of 5 members. Running teams will be an awarded category like the others.

Online registration closes at 11:59pm Monday July 9th. Registration can be done in person Race Day or at Pre Race Packet Pick-up, but once online registration closes, in person registration is $40 a person no matter what you are registering for.
