EVENT DATE: Saturday, October 19, 2019
TIME: At your convenience. Your Way. Your Pace.
What’s A Virtual 5K?
The purpose of the virtual 5K (3.1 miles) is to get everyone active while bringing attention to the more than 245 million women around the world who are widowed and the challenges of losing a spouse, and most importantly honoring our loved one.
SAY THEIR NAME. REMEMBER. HONOR
Who Can Participate?
Anyone can join! Whether you’re a widow or a widower or a friend/family member showing support, everyone’s welcomed to participate. The deadline to register is October 18.
How Does The Virtual 5K Work?
Stroll with friends, walk alone (be safe) or take the kids out. The objective is to log 3.1 miles by Saturday, October 20. Start today, start tomorrow - it's at your convenience. We use an honor system so you won't need to submit your miles as proof you participated.
Form A Team
The Widows of Hope VIRTUAL 5K features a "Team" option. Recruit your friends and family to join you as you walk in honor of your spouse or a cause.
Please keep in mind that you'll first need to register, create a team name and password then share the info with your friends, family, and supporters.
SAY THEIR NAME. REMEMBER. HONOR

What’s In It For Me?
In addition to helping to show support for widows across the globe, you’ll earn cool bragging rights and an awesome finisher’s medal (mailed within 45 days after the event). Proceeds will benefit Hope for Widows Foundation, a national support system for, and developed by, widowed women which connects new widows with other widows to offer peer-to-peer support and other resources.
