Louisiana Tech University's Society of Women Engineers chapter is excited to host our eighth annual Run Like a Girl 5k on March 21 st, 2026. All proceeds from this event will be donated to 4 PAWS Rescue, USA, in an effort to support the animal shelter in our local area.  We met our goal last year to raise at least $2,000 for 4 PAWS Rescue and raise awareness of the importance of volunteering and/or considering adoption when looking for a family pet and we would like to match that goal this year. We will be having an additional add-on in which it will allow participants to walk with a dog from the Rescue during the 5K for $5! The add-on can be purchased with or without a shirt in the Events section. Also feel free to come walk with your own dog (water bowls will be available throughout the race).   The 5k will begin and end at IESB (Integrated Engineering and Science Building) on Louisiana Tech's campus. Each participant who does the run/walk route will receive an official final
