2026 Race Against Racism

Make History with YWCA Lancaster’s 2026 Race Against Racism!

For over 27 years, Lancaster County has come together to take bold steps toward justice—and now it’s your turn to join the movement! Be part of the nation’s longest-running Race Against Racism on Saturday, April 25, and help us eliminate racism, empower women, and build a future where equity knows no bounds. Feel the energy. Embrace the mission. Gather your friends, coworkers, and neighbors to take part in this inspiring day of community, advocacy, and change. Together, we’ll go further than ever before!

Why Participate? This isn’t just a 5K; it’s a statement. Every stride, every voice, every united effort sends a powerful message: we will not stop until racism is dismantled, institutions are transformed, and every person—especially women, girls, and people of color—is celebrated as Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.

Every dollar raised supports YWCA Lancaster's Center for Racial and Gender Equity (CRGE) and YWCA Lancaster’s essential education, training, advocacy, and community transformation programs. Don’t just watch history happen—be part of it. Register now and take your first step toward a better future!

Race Against Racism is held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, rain or shine!
