Run For Empower

One step at a time

Empower runners are part of a welcoming community of individuals who are committed to raising funds and awareness for our organization. Runners participate in various kinds of athletics fundraising events such as 5Ks, half marathons, marathons, relay races, triathlons, and more to help support Empower programs and services. Runners of all experience levels and athletic abilities are welcome.

Together, our runners celebrate, heal, and empower through healthy activity.

Additional Resources & Support

Our team is here with you every step of the way. We’ll make sure you have everything you need to be successful to raise funds and make a difference for Empower — from access to an individual peer-to-peer fundraising platform, professional training plans to help meet your athletic goals, as well as exclusive gear and a private Facebook community for inspiration and emotional support.

Fundraising Support

Every teammate is given their own peer-to-peer fundraising page that can be personalized and shared with anyone who wants to support you and Empower’s mission.

Hosting a fundraising event? We will provide marketing materials like banners, rack cards and raffle items to help make your fundraising efforts a success!

Custom Gear

All teammates receive gear, from tanks to hats, exclusive to people running for Empower.

Once a teammate reaches their individual fundraising goal, gear is mailed to wear during training and to represent Empower on race day.
