Run the Secret 3k - Support Afghanistan Women Who Can't Run

There are places in the world where women cannot run. We run for them!

This is the fourth year Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham has invited women to join her on the international day when women all over Canada, the USA, and the world run for women in Afghanistan, and other places where they are not ALLOWED to run freely.

This 3.1 mile run in the brisk, and FREE air, Central New York women breathe is the perfect time to run together to promote the fact women in other countries don't have the freedom to run.

Event History:

In 2015 for the first time ever, a marathon was held in Afghanistan, a marathon that both men and women were able to participate in but they had to keep it a secret. Why? There are still places in the world where women are not allowed to run or walk outside. However, a community in Afghanistan courageously carved out a new way forward for the next generation. By creating safe races they helped to create a safe place. We want to help.

Join us for The Secret 3K run/walk. Held during the week of International Women's Day, this race celebrates our right to be free to run. We're inviting everyone to come together in solidarity to support the right all humans should have to walk or run free of fear in their community.

By participating you are helping us to increase awareness about gender equality issues and by making a donation you are helping to further the work of our charity partners to build safe and inclusive spaces that promote gender equality. Together we can empower women and girls through education and sport.

Make a difference by signing up to participate in The Secret 3K and inviting a friend to join you today.

Anyone interested can sign up at https://raceroster.com/events/2024/73911/secret-3k/pledge/participant/23741135 and pay the $15 fee to run and hopefully donate to one of two organizations including the Afghanistan Women's Fund or #261Fearless.org.

If you don't want to register on your own, then pay the $15 on our website and we will register you!

No matter what, make sure you officially register on this page so Tracy can connect with you about our group's run location and timing.

Life presented me a blessed opportunity to meet, learn from and have a meal with and get their books signed by running royalty today. Dr. Roger Robinson and Kathrine Switzer couldn’t have been more accommodating amidst their busy schedules! #261Fearless (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HN-YmFu4n/?igshid=131a6g5kfqk6r
