🎯Purpose of the Race

The race is a fundraiser for WIT’s 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.

🤝WIT Achievements

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.

🏆Awards

• Participant Medal: Each participant in the 5K race (in-person or virtual) will receive a participation medal.
• In-Person Winners: Overall male and female winners will receive unique Women In Training trophies. Age group winners will receive special medals.
• Overall Winners: Awards will be given for the top 3 males and females.
