Victory Over Violence Walk/Run benefiting The Women's Center

The 28th Annual Victory Over Violence Walk/Run takes place Saturday April 12 2025. This USATF certified 5K walk/run and a 1K Fun Run starts at Trinity Park Duck Pond near downtown Fort Worth and winds through Trinity Park. T-shirt food beverages a huge children’s area and more are included. Registration is available online at www.vovfw.org or call 817-927-4006.

The statistics are stark: 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual assault by age 18. This means there are survivors in your life whether you know their story or not. They’re your friends family members colleagues and neighbors. This race honors their journey and helps build a future where every survivor has access to the support they need.

Your participation creates real impact. It funds the 24-hour crisis hotline that’s always there to answer a call for help. It provides counseling that helps children break free from cycles of abuse. It ensures survivors have someone by their side in hospital rooms and courthouses. It empowers an education initiative that gives youth a safe place to speak up. It ensures frontline professionals have the tools and language to compassionately respond to survivors in their most vulnerable moments..

Join us this spring at Trinity Park. Run walk or cheer — every action matters. Create a team. Volunteer at a cheer station. Buy a sign of support. Sponsor the race. Or simply donate. However you choose to participate you’re part of something powerful: a community that stands together believes survivors and proves there’s always a way forward.
