The No Shortcuts Relay is a 120-mile endurance race from Los Angeles to San Diego that demands grit, teamwork, and heart. There are no shortcuts, only perseverance, trust in your teammates, and the willingness to keep going when it gets hard.

We are a team of 8 strong Latina women taking on this challenge together. Every mile represents resilience, unity, and the power of women showing up for one another. As we prepare for relay day, we created this fundraiser to support hydration, recovery, and essential needs so we can reach the finish line healthy and safe.

Beyond the race, we’re running with purpose. 20% of all donations will be given to Helping Hands Resource Center in San Fernando, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. Through emergency assistance, healing workshops, survivor support groups, and community programs, Helping Hands provides safety, dignity, and hope to those rebuilding their lives.

We believe every person deserves the chance to heal and every mile we run is fueled by that belief. Thank you for standing with us, supporting our team, and being part of this journey. There are no shortcuts, only heart, purpose, and forward motion.
