Despite spending more money per capita on maternal health than any country in the world, the United States ranks a shocking 55th in maternal deaths. It is the only industrialized nation with a consistently rising maternal mortality rate.
This burden is not shared equally. Black and Indigenous mothers in the U.S. are 2-3 times more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes.
On October 10th, join a global coalition of runners and advocates as we raise awareness and funds to combat these inequalities. Learn more

Now through October 10, Every Mother Counts will host weekly virtual coaching sessions with some of the biggest names in running, with live Q&A that all team members are invited to join. As you train, be sure to honor the spirt of the Race for Birth Justice by raising funds and awareness with your community.
On October 10, wherever you are, lace up. Run or walk your chosen distance in solidarity with the entire team. As you finish your race, a virtual finish line of your team and favorite coaches will celebrate the accomplishment alongside you.
Every Mother Counts’ Race for Birth Justice is made possible by presenting sponsor FIRST RESPONSE™ Pregnancy Tests. And, thanks to this partnership, your fundraising dollars can have double the impact. The first 100 runners to raise $500 for their race will have their donation matched by FIRST RESPONSE!
Every dollar you raise will go towards combating disparities that prevent underserved pregnant and childbearing people from accessing the quality, equitable, and respectful maternity care that we all deserve. Join our team and make your miles make a difference!
