SUMMARY:2025 Roots\, Rock\, Run 5k
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for the Roots\, Rock\, Run 5K!\nSaturday\, May 31st | Philadelphia\, PA & Virtual \n  \nRoots\, Rock\, Run 5K is more than a race—it’s a movement. \nHeld each year in Philadelphia on the morning of The Roots Picnic\, this community walk/run honors Black Thought\, lead MC of The Roots and co-founder and former chairman of GrassROOTS Community Foundation. \nFor the past eight years\, Roots Rock Run 5K has powered our global menstrual equity work—helping raise awareness\, distribute menstrual products\, and advocate for policies to #EndPeriodPoverty. \nNew this year: \nIn 2024\, we expanded the race. Our hybrid format allows you to participate from anywhere—virtually or in person! \nWhy It Matters: \nMenstrual inequity is a local and global issue. \nRight here in Philadelphia\, 1 in 4 residents lives in economic hardship\, struggling to afford essentials—including pads and tampons. \nGlobally\, millions of women and girls still lack access to the menstrual products they need to live with dignity. \nBe Part of the Change: \nRegister now: https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Philadelphia/RootsRockRun5K \nBring a pad to donate on race day! \n✅ Connect with athletes\, advocates\, and change-makers \n✅ Support health\, equity\, and access for all \n✅ Celebrate a powerful tradition of resistance and care \n\nLead-Up Events: \nRooftop Yoga at Bok \nMay 13 & May 27 | In partnership with Bok \n  \nMark Your Calendar: \nMenstrual Equity Day is May 28th \nJoin us for a LIVE global conversation featuring Dr. Janice Johnson Dias and our partners from Jamaica (@herflow) and South Africa (@qrate_sa). \n  \nTogether\, we can build a #PeriodFriendlyWorld and achieve menstrual equity for all. \n
