Join the Women’s 5K & 10K Race to Support Refugee Women

In September, we are thrilled to invite you to participate in the Liverpool Women’s 5K & 10K race for the third year running—a vibrant and inspiring community event that brings together hundreds of women from across the city. Whether you’re a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or a beginner taking on your very first race, this event is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and empowering for all. The race offers both 5K and 10K distances, allowing participants to choose a challenge that suits their fitness level and goals. 

This year, we’re especially excited to build a dedicated team of women who are passionate about both running and making a difference. As part of our team, you’ll be running in support of Refugee Women Connect, raising vital funds to empower refugee and asylum-seeking women. Join us as we run side by side, not just for the finish line, but to help transform lives! 

Why Participate?

Refugee Women Connect works tirelessly to support women who have fled their homes due to conflict, persecution, or gender based violence. We offer practical support for refugee women and their families. This includes expert casework, support with accommodation and housing, school access for children, and information sessions and English language classes. We also offer bespoke one-to-one mental health support for women recovering from trauma, as well as group wellbeing sessions, such as our art group and yoga sessions. As a fundraiser you will be raising money to help us to continue to offer the support refugee and asylum women in our community need to rebuild their lives.
