The Race for Equality 5K and 1 Mile Walk/Run is a fundraiser for YWCA’s work towards equality, which includes community events, assessing community priority areas for equality, and developing educational content to share with Fort Wayne and the northeast Indiana community. The 2025 Race for Equality is scheduled for April 26, 2025, at PFW. The theme of our 2025 event is “Until Justice Just Is” and we will focus on how we can move together towards a better, more just community for all!

Early-bird pricing is $40 for adults and $25 for students and youth for the 5K and pricing for the 1-mile fun run is $35 for adults and $15 for students and youth. The event is chip timed, and packet pickup begins at 7:45 AM with a race start time at 9am for the 5K and 9:15am for the 1-mile fun run.
