I Will Run For Them
The 11th Annual I Will Run for Them is an in-person 5K awareness run held on October 24, 2026, at Isleta Lakes & RV Park in Isleta, New Mexico. The event is organized by CSVANW during Domestic Violence Awareness Month to acknowledge the impacts of domestic and intimate partner violence on Native communities and other affected groups.
The run creates a space to honor survivors, cycle-breakers, and relatives lost to violence. Participants are invited to dedicate their run, jog, or walk to a survivor or loved one. The event statement highlights prevalence data for Native women, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and gay populations to illustrate the scope of violence experienced across communities.
Registration fees are stated as $20 for general entries, with youth aged 12 and under free and CSVANW members free under specified membership conditions. Membership categories include Relative and Advocate level requiring active membership, Organizational level requiring employment by a member organization, and Tribal level requiring employment by a tribal government.
The event is presented as an awareness and remembrance activity rather than a competitive race. Information focuses on community healing and recognition of survivors' resilience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
