We are more than a race
We are a weekend long experience that brings people together in the Birthplace of Women’s Rights to celebrate
our past while inspiring our future. As we run through the streets of historic Seneca Falls, NY, the Right to Run serves as a powerful reminder of the long, difficult journey women traveled to obtain their right to vote.
Crossing the finish line takes dedication, resilience and strength—all qualities shared with the suffragists
that fought for women’s suffrage. You will do it feeling happy, strong and filled with an urge and ability to do something more.
We’re on a mission
We exist to be a nationally recognized race event that brings people together from diverse backgrounds—
especially young women and girls—to share in an experience that honors and celebrates the difficult journey women traveled
to obtain their right to vote while also fostering a sense of strength, happiness, and belonging.
