Join us as we celebrate women's suffrage in historic Seneca Falls, NY! 

The Right to Run is a celebration of the passing of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote. It all began in Seneca Falls, NY when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention – the first-ever Women’s Rights Convention. This 5k race takes place through the town of Seneca Falls, highlighting the town's rich history and landmarks, and if you can't make it to Seneca Falls, our virtual run options allow you to join us from anywhere in the U.S.

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.

Men, women and children are welcome to join us for the Right to Run. Right to Run Inc.’s purpose is to inspire, empower, mobilize and connect women. Right to Run 19K, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Right to Run 5km is certified to be accurate by the USATF, NY25003KL
