Building Homes and Breaking Limits: Kent Homes Women Run the WILMA Dash
June 11, 2025
The Kent HOMEgirls Hit the Ground Running at the 2025 WILMA Dash!
Last month, a small group of women from Kent Homes laced up their sneakers, donned their matching hot pink construction vests and signature teal socks, and joined more than 1,500 other participants for the annual WILMA Dash—Wilmington’s all-female 5K. Representing our sales, design, and accounting teams, the 'Kent HOMEgirls' showed up with energy, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of team spirit!
Set against the scenic backdrop of the Cape Fear riverfront, the WILMA Dash wasn’t just a race—it was a celebration of community, wellness, and women supporting women. We were proud to be part of such an inspiring event that brought together strong, motivated women from all across the area.
But the Dash wasn’t just about running. This year’s event supported The Northside Food Co-Op, an organization working to address food insecurity in the Northside neighborhood of Wilmington. Their mission is powerful: to increase access to nutritious, affordable food; foster community resiliency; and break the cycle of multigenerational poverty in a historically underserved area designated as a USDA-defined food desert. It was an honor to run in support of such an impactful cause.
Our Kent HOMEgirls ran (and walked) with purpose, pride, and plenty of laughs along the way. It was a night to remember—and one we hope to top next year with an even bigger team!
