SAY THEIR NAME. REMEMBER. HONOR



EVENT DATE: Saturday, May 15, 2021 AND Sunday, May 16, 2021 (2-day event- choose 1 day to participate or do both days!)

TIME: At Your Convenience. Your Way. Your Pace.

LOCATION: Your Place. Your Choice.


What’s A Virtual 5K?

The purpose of the virtual 5K run/walk (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 loved one and most importantly honoring our loved one.

COVID-19:

Participants must follow all CDC safe distancing guidelines according to their location. Hope sisters, supporters, participants, and members are paramount, and their safety is of utmost importance. Widowhood challenges do not stop because of a pandemic. For that reason, Hope for Widows Foundation remains steadfast and focused on its mission.


Who Can Participate?

Anyone can join! Whether you’re a widow, widower, or a friend/family member showing support, walking in the loss of another family member, everyone is welcomed to participate. The deadline to register is May 15, 2021.

How Does The Virtual 5K Work?

Stroll with friends, run, walk alone (be safe) or take the kids or dog out. Stay home and walk the treadmill or workout. The objective is to log 3.1 miles of activity by Sunday, May 16. 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 then share the team's name with your friends, family, and supporters.
