Black Maternal Health Week 2026 is almost here!

April 11-17th is Black Maternal Health Week and we are hosting our 4rd annual 5K Walk to help raise awareness..

The Black infant and maternal mortality crisis in the U.S. is a national issue. Beauty for Ashes Maternal Wellness Inc .is hosting a 5K Walk to raise awareness, and to raise funds to provide support to families in need.

Black women and birthing people are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes and complications than their white counterparts. Most pregnancy related deaths are preventable. Multiple factors contribute to these disparities, such as structural racism, implicit bias, variation in quality healthcare, and underlying chronic conditions. Social determinants of health have historically prevented many people from racial and ethnic minority groups from having fair opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional health.

Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW) was founded and is led by Black Mamas Matter Alliance. BMHW takes place annually from April 11-17 and was recognized by the White House on April 13, 2021. It is a week of awareness, advocacy, activism, and collaboration to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people.

This year's theme is "Rooted in Justice & Joy".

Purpose: To raise awareness, promote activism, and amplify community-driven, Reproductive Justice-centered care.

Infant mortality is defined as death during the first year of life. The United States has a high infant mortality rate, and Black babies are in the gravest danger, with an infant mortality rate in 2018 of 10.8 deaths per 1,000 live births, compared to a rate of 4.6 White babies per 1,000 live births.

Day of the Black Infant The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared April 16 as the Day of the Black Infant.

Doula support has been shown to help improve birth outcomes so we are working to make doula support more accessible to Black birthing families, while also supporting the doulas that have committed themselves to providing that support. Click here to learn more about the evidence on doula support

Beauty for Ashes Maternal Wellness, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of women, infants and birthing families as well as the birth workers that are called to serve them. Funds raised will be used to cover the cost of labor and postpartum doula support, lactation support, and supplemental supportive services including transportation and nutritional support. To learn more about the programs and services we provide, please click here .

The walk will be held in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at the Birth Equity Consortium Doula Hub located at 5838 Overhill Dr. #3 L.A. CA, 90043.

Our Virtual walk is for people that are not local to Los Angeles but would still like to support and show solidarity. We will kick off the virtual walk on Saturday April 11th and continue through Sunday April 12th. Participants can walk anytime, any where.

2026 Cal Tri Castaic Lake - 6.20.25

18 EVENT OPTIONS. 6 Olympic distance events (Triathlon, RunBikeRun, SwimBike, SwimRun, 1640 Yard Swim & 10K Run), 6 Sprint distance events (Triathlon, RunBikeRun, SwimBike, SwimRun, 400 yard Swim & 5K Run) and 6 Youth Sprint distance events (Triathlon, RunBikeRun, SwimBike, SwimRun, 400 yard Swim & 5K Run). Triathlon = swim + bike + run. Typically, the swim and run distances are standard but the bike distance varies from race to race. Check out the course maps for more detailed information.

CASTAIC LAKE.

The 35th annual Castaic Lake Triathlon takes place at scenic Castaic Lake just 20 miles north of Los Angeles. The Castaic Lake Recreation Area, located just north of Santa Clarita, is an 11,200-acre multi-use facility with two lakes, boating, world class fishing, hiking, walking, horseback riding, wake boarding, jet-skiing, camping, picnicking, kayaking, and sailing. August is a great time to enjoy the water in the high 60s, and a staging area aptly named Paradise Cove. "Tri-cation" Friday night camping available through Castaic Lake.

THE COURSE.

The swim course is a modified V shape in Paradise Cove at Castaic Lake, with 8 lifeguards in the water on paddleboards. The bike course then goes out on back roads to limit your interaction with cars. The bike course does include some U-turns on back roads to allow this, so athletes should slow down at the turn around points. The run is primarily on the rolling trails overlooking Castaic Lake.

WHO WE SUPPORT

All proceeds will benefit the Canyon High School Cross Country and Track Teams (we've been doing this for 33 years to support our programs).

This is a great triathlon for new triathletes. For years our coaches and athletes have encouraged new triathletes (young and old), and created a welcoming atmosphere of support. We offer an enjoyable experience for triathletes of all experience levels.

AIR TEMPERATURE (AVG).

Mid June temperatures are often cooler in the morning, with early morning fog burning off to reach the mid 80s. Our event will possibly be around 60 degrees.

WATER TEMPERATURE (AVG).

Water temps in June typically range in the mid to high 60s. Email updates will be sent out closer to the race with updates. Use the 20% CALTRI2025 discount code at blueseventy. Note: Fusion wetsuits not eligible for discount.

[72.png] Chingonas on the Run: Camp & Loop [72.png] [72.png] [72.png]

Where miles, mountains, and mujeres meet.

Join us for a weekend that’s more than just miles — it’s a celebration of grit, comunidad, and the kind of campfire connections that linger long after the headlamps switch off.

On Sunday, June 28, 2026, you’ll take on a 6-hour challenge to complete as many loops as your legs (and ganas) can handle within the 6-hour timeframe. Each loop is 4.16 miles with 728 ft of gain, winding through sweet single track trails in the heart of the Angeles National Forest, summiting Mount Hillyer each time you circle. The loop starts and finishes at basecamp where our aid station will be ready to keep you fueled, hydrated, and cheered on — every lap, every time. Click here to view route.

Note the cut-off to start the last loop is 11:45 AM. Chingonas have the option to set out for one last loop by 11:45 AM or hang out at basecamp to ring their cowbell to welcome the remaining finishers. As a reminder you are encouraged to run at your own pace and ability. We are here to support you on any goal you set for yourself within the 6-hour time frame.

[72.png] The Flow

Saturday, June 27, 2026:

Camp check-in opens 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (no late arrivals). Find your spot, pitch your tent, settle in under the pines. Your campground fee is included in your registration, so all you need is your gear and your ganas — and if you don’t have gear, no problem! Email us and we’ll connect you with resources to borrow what you need.

Sunday, June 28, 2026:

The loop begins at 7:00 AM, weaving through that sweet single track with your Chingona crew towards Mount Hillyer. Each loop starts and ends at our basecamp aid station, stocked with snacks, hydration, and all the encouragement you need to keep going, loop after loop. Run your heart out until the clock strikes 1:00 PM — see how many summits you can bag before the final bell rings.

When the loops are done, it’s time for a post-run celebration. Gather for a hearty lunch meal, swap stories, laugh under the pines, and soak up that Chingona magic. You’ll walk away with a finisher’s medal and a keepsake to remember every brave mile and every unstoppable smile.

Closing ceremony will end at 5:30 PM, runners will be able to clean-up and depart between 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM (Note: Sunset is at 8:07PM).

[72.png] What’s Included

Trail Aid: Aid station at the start/finish of each 4.16-mile loop fully stocked with food, snacks, hydration, and high-fives.

Food & Fuel: Grab-and-go breakfast Sunday morning, dinner Saturday night, a hearty post-run lunch Sunday evening and grab-and-go refreshments throughout the event.

Welcome Goodie Bag: Festival Swag

[72.png] This is for You

Bring your miles, your messy, your brave. Bring your tent, your trail shoes, your hunger for connection and your wild, resilient heart. No gear, no problem — email us and we’ll connect you to resources to borrow camping gear. We’ve got you, amiga. This is where Chingonas lift each other up — loop by loop, mile by mile, under the endless Angeles sky.

This event is for women and those whose identity aligns with womanhood — trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive folks are warmly welcome. To honor this safe space, this event is closed to cis men.
