Katie's Run for the Red Virtual 5K 2026

Description

Join me for the Katie's Run for the Red Virtual 5K and help support my fundraising efforts for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon as a member of Team Red Cross!

Every registration and donation directly supports my Team Red Cross fundraising goal, helping the American Red Cross provide disaster relief, blood services, support for military families, and other lifesaving programs.

This event is especially meaningful to me. During the birth of my youngest son, I experienced a life-threatening medical emergency and required 14 units of blood to survive. Those blood donations saved my life and allowed me to return home to my family. You can learn more about my story here: Katie Niehoff EVMS

Today, I am proud to serve with the American Red Cross and am training to run the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon as a member of Team Red Cross. This virtual 5K is one way I'm raising funds and awareness for the mission that helped save my life.

Whether you run, walk, hike, push a stroller, or bring your four-legged running partner, every mile completed helps support the American Red Cross and my journey to the NYC Marathon.

How It Works • Register and make your donation. • Complete your 5K anytime during race week. • Run, walk, hike, or treadmill your miles wherever you are. • Share your photos on social media using #KatiesRunfortheRed. • Celebrate knowing your miles helped make a difference.

Together, we can turn miles into hope and help ensure the Red Cross is there when people need it most.

Thank you for supporting my journey to the New York City Marathon and helping the Red Cross continue its lifesaving mission.
