Event Description

Black Womxn in Mathematics Education (BWXME) encourages your participation in our virtual 5K run/walk.

The Solve for Xcellence: BWXME Run This! Virtual 5K Run/Walk is sponsored by Black Womxn in Mathematics Education, an organization of collective change agents who disrupt systems of oppression by challenging marginality and privilege within mathematical spaces, nurtures Black Womxn’s mathematical agency, and engenders a sense of belonging coupled with Black Girl Joy.

From August 20th to September 20th we will host the 2025  inaugural Solve for Xcellence: BWXME Run This! Virtual 5K Run/Walk.  BWXME seeks to empower each member to establish their own platforms by using their voice, influence, and expertise in the mathematics education arena. 

We seek to empower you as a participant or lead a team in this physical and mental health movement.  

The Solve for Xcellence: BWXME Run This! Virtual 5K Run/Walk is an opportunity to bring local communities together for the purpose of promoting physical and mental health/wellness while supporting the work BWXME does that impacts mathematics education communities nationwide. According to the latest research, physical activity positively impacts our mental health and contributes to better patterns of sleep, stress relief, and memory.  

Your support will assist us in our efforts to provide professional support for teachers and mentoring for students while supporting the overall wellness initiatives in our BWXME community. The Solve for Xcellence: BWXME Run This! Virtual 5K Run/Walk is a family-friendly community run/walk for men, women, and children. Runners, joggers, and walkers are encouraged to get out in their communities and enjoy a healthy, fun-filled event while supporting a worthy organization.
