Run for Relief 5k
Organizer's Description
Saturday, October 11, 2025 | Minneapolis, MN
Open to all runners and walkers
Join us for the Afiya Run for Relief 5K, a women-led wellness event raising funds to provide clean water and sanitation to communities in need through Islamic Relief USA.
This isn’t just a race, it’s a way to take care of your body and support others around the world. We’re bringing our community together to walk, run, and move with purpose, because wellness isn’t just about fitness. It’s also about compassion, dignity, and access to the most basic needs - like clean water.
Why Water Matters
In many parts of the world, women and girls are the ones most impacted by water shortages. They walk for hours just to collect water, often risking their health and safety. Without clean water and proper sanitation, families face preventable illnesses, girls miss school, and entire communities are held back.
By participating in this race, you’ll be helping fund long-term water and sanitation projects through Islamic Relief USA, including building wells, improving hygiene access, and restoring dignity for families in crisis.
About Afiya
Afiya is a Minnesota-based women’s wellness collective centered on movement, mindfulness, and community. We believe wellness should be accessible, joyful, and rooted in purpose. Through our events, from weekly run clubs to wellness meetups, we’re creating a space where women can grow stronger together.
This 5K is part of that mission. When we run or walk for clean water, we’re making a direct impact on the wellness of women and girls globally. Because when a woman has clean water, everything changes; her health improves, her time is freed up, and her future opens up.
