October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and CSVANW is hosting our annual I Will Run for Them 5K Run awareness run to honor the resilience, strength and spirit of our Native relatives impacted by domestic violence. We create space to honor survivors, cycle-breakers and our relatives who we have lost to violence. We invite you to dedicate your run, jog, or walk to your loved ones affected by the imbalance violence creates.
Our communities are experiencing an imbalance and we need space to heal so that we honor the beauty of all our relatives and survivors’ resiliency.
EVENT DETAILS:
Whether you run, walk, or jog, we invite you to dedicate your miles to a survivor, a cycle-breaker, or a loved one you’ve lost.

VIRTUAL 5K
Note: The virtual run is open only to relatives residing outside of New Mexico.
Our annual 5K brings our community together in New Mexico, but we know many of our relatives live outside the state and want to join us. This year, we are opening a virtual run so relatives outside of New Mexico can participate in the I Will Run for Them 5K.
At CSVANW, we believe in access and inclusion. Cycle breakers everywhere deserve the chance to take part. With the virtual run, you choose your own starting line – run, jog, or walk at your own pace and on your own terms. The purpose is solidarity, no matter where you are.
Join us in dedicating your run, jog, or walk to survivors, cycle breakers, and loved ones impacted by domestic and sexual violence.
Virtual Run Details:
- Registered participants will receive the 2025 I Will Run for Them 5K shirt, mailed two weeks before the in-person event.
- On October 11, 2025, run, jog, or walk any distance, solo or with friends, family, pets, or your organization.
Note: The virtual run is open only to relatives residing outside of New Mexico.
