Miles That Matter 5K

Every mile can mean something. 💙

Join us for the inaugural Miles That Matter 5K, hosted by the Working Moms of San Antonio Foundation!

Run it, walk it, bring the family, gather your friends, or complete the virtual race on your own schedule. This event is open to the entire community. You do not need to be a mom, a woman, or an experienced runner to participate.

Come for the miles and stay for the post-race celebration with local vendors, refreshments, photo opportunities, family-friendly fun, and plenty of community energy.

A portion of the proceeds support Foundation programs that create opportunities for women and girls to learn, lead, connect, and thrive!

Run it. Walk it. Make it count.
