In Person: 5K
Virtual: 5K | 19K
Join us as we celebrate women's suffrage in historic Seneca Falls, NY!
The Right to Run is a celebration of the passing of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote. It all began in Seneca Falls, NY when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention – the first-ever Women’s Rights Convention. This 5k race takes place through the town of Seneca Falls, highlighting the town's rich history and landmarks, and if you can't make it to Seneca Falls, our virtual run options allow you to join us from anywhere in the U.S.
The Right to Run serves as a powerful reminder of the long, difficult journey women traveled to obtain their right to vote. Crossing the finish line takes dedication, resilience and strength- all qualities shared with the suffragists that fought for women’s suffrage.
Men, women and children are welcome to join us for the Right to Run. Right to Run Inc.’s purpose is to inspire, empower, mobilize and connect women. Right to Run 19K, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Right to Run 5km is certified to be accurate by the USATF, NY25003KL

Sports Bra Drive
This year we will be hosting a Sports Bra Drive at packet pick-up on Friday May 9th 2025, and on race day May 10, 2025. We ask that if you are able, to bring a new sports bra to donate for the drive to support our partnership with The Sports Bra Project.
The Sports Bra Project (TSBP) is committed to removing barriers to sports participation and supports athletes in all sports and at every level of play.
Lack of access to the simple yet essential piece of equipment, a sports bra, can be a barrier to sports participation. TSBP provides NEW sports bras to girls & women in areas where the lack of access to this basic piece of equipment can prevent their participation in sports.
Barriers to sports participation are varied and often include a combination of cultural, economic and logistical concerns. By partnering with organizations operating in areas where access is limited by one or all of these factors, TSBP is able to support their work and utilize the organizations local knowledge and networks to provide sports bras to aspiring athletes who may not otherwise be able to participate.
The Sports Bra Project (TSBP) is a US based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 with the mission: Increase access to sports for women & girls by removing barriers to participation. We are honored to partner with TSBP and appreciate your support of this cause!
