Organiser's Description
ROOTS, ROCK, RUN 5K
In the USA, nearly 1 in 5 girls miss school during their period, and globally, 2 in 3 girls are also missing out on important learning opportunities.
ROOTS, ROCK, RUN 5K supports the GrassROOTS Community Foundation [https://grassrootscommunityfoundation.org/]'s global menstrual equity work, where we increase knowledge, provide menstrual supplies, and advocate for legislation to #endperiodpoverty. Your participation helps make this possible, with funds raised supporting this vital cause.
This year's R3 5K offers a hybrid experience, allowing participants from our _GLOBAL MENSTRUAL EQUITY COUNCIL _in the US, Jamaica, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya and beyond to choose between live or virtual races.
Whether you join us in person at Lloyd Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or participate virtually from anywhere in the world, your contribution will make a difference.
On _SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH,_ between 8:30 am and 12:00 pm, we will collectively run or walk a 5K wherever we are, uniting to combat period poverty.
Proceeds from your registration will directly support our efforts to increase menstrual equity and #endperiodpoverty.
As a token of our appreciation, the top three winners will receive special GRASSROOTS tees, and the first-place in-person winner will also receive two tickets to the Roots Picnic.
Early registration is $20.00 until March 31st, with prices increasing thereafter. The first 50 registrants, whether for the live or virtual race, will receive a commemorative t-shirt.
