Women In Training, Inc. (WIT), a youth empowerment nonprofit organization that works to end period poverty, is holding our 5th Annual WIT 5K Run/Walk at the exciting Montgomery Whitewater on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. We are raising funds to distribute #WITKITS of menstrual, dental and hygiene supplies, as well as menstrual education and leadership opportunities, to underserved girls.

For the 5th Annual Race, we are offering two events on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.:

1) WIT 5K (3.1 MILE) RUN/WALK RACE, STARTING AT 9:00 AM CST, IN WHICH PARTICIPANTS WILL RUN AND/OR WALK THE 5K COURSE FOR A TIMED RESULT. FOR THIS RACE, WE WILL HAVE OVERALL AND AGE GROUP AWARDS BASED ON TIME AND ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A UNIQUE WIT 5K T-SHIRT.

2) IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ADDED A VIRTUAL WIT 5K RUN/WALK FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE BUT CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE RACE IN PERSON. YOUR SHIRT, BIB AND MEDAL WILL BE MAILED TO YOU, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT YOUR RESULTS ON THIS SITE.

The race is a fundraiser for WITs signature WITKITS Campaign to provide menstrual products and hygiene items to young, low-income people who menstruate. Following the economic fallout from the pandemic, the number of girls and women who could not afford period products increased from one in five to one in four, causing them to miss school, class, work or similar obligations because they do not have the products they need. Many girls who struggle to afford period products resort to using paper towels, rags, socks and other items that place their health in jeopardy.

Since its founding in July 2019, WIT has distributed more than 50,000 WITKITS to girls and women in need across Alabama. Each registration and donation contributes to WIT's mission of ending period poverty and educating and empowering the women of tomorrow.
