Empower Her 5K: Chica Project
The Empower Her Fun 5K is an annual, community-focused event that celebrates Women and girls of Color through movement, music, wellness, and connection. The third annual edition is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026 at Franklin Park Playstead in Boston.
The event follows a paved outdoor course of three loops around the Franklin Park Playstead and White Stadium area, totaling approximately 3.1 miles (a traditional 5K). The event is untimed and participants may complete as many loops as they like. Activities include pre-run stretching, music, a raffle, and on-site gatherings on a grassy field. Complimentary water and light snacks are available while supplies last.
Registration options include early bird, regular, day of, and virtual entries, with children ages five and under allowed to participate for free without registration. Eligible ticket types include an official event t-shirt and on-site pick up of race bibs and shirts during check-in. The event is intended to be accessible; dogs are welcome on leash and organizers note available free parking on Pierpont Road behind Franklin Park Zoo and public transportation access, including the Green Street MBTA station.
The event is planned to run rain or shine, with a virtual transition if severe weather prevents an in-person gathering. Volunteer and sponsorship opportunities are offered to support the organizing nonprofit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
