About the She Can, We Can 5K Run Walk:The She Can, We Can 5K Run/Walk is always our favourite day of the year! It’s the day we host a 5K event that brings together community members and FAB participants to take on a 5K run. Whether you are a first time 5Ker or aiming to cross the finish line with an Olympic qualifying time, this event is guaranteed to inspire you to dream big and live big. The 5K starts and ends at the Edgewater Pavilion in Confederation Park and the course runs along the beautiful Hamilton Beach Strip. The energy is electric, the race food is yummy, the volunteers are next level, the FAB participants are so inspiring, and the course is fast and flat. Did we mention the energy is electric?The event is also a key fundraiser to help us raise the much-needed funds that allow us to continue to offer our free and empowering FAB 5K Challenge program to over 150 youth girls in Hamilton annually. About our FAB participants:Every spring, FAB offers a free and empowering program to over 150 youth girls in Hamilton’s priority neighbourhoods. The program challenges participants to train for and finish a 5K run. Participants meet weekly with volunteer coaches for training, fun, and skill-building. They finish feeling proud, confident, and equipped with a goal-setting framework they can use for any future endeavour. The program culminates with FAB participants completing the She Can, We Can 5K run. That’s right! 150 youth girls from Hamilton will be taking on this 5K as well. It’s absolutely inspiring!
