StrongHer Long Island 4k Walk- Run

👟 Race Overview

NO TIMING CHIP, JUST A CLOCK AT THE FINISH LINE and a proud feeling of accomplishment.

This will be an empowering event, not a competitive one. Women coming together to challenge themselves to run, walk or run/walk 2.5 miles and be proud of the accomplishment. It will look different for each of us and that is ok! Custom award medals at the finish line. 100% of proceeds from sales go to youth of Long Island including families who are dealing with a family member diagnosed with breast cancer.
