 There's something special about women only races. Being part of a crowd of fit and fabulous women runners of all ages and abilities.
Watching groups of women arrive together, laughing and talking. Checking out all the colorful outfits and fashion.

Seeing husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons and friends supporting their women. Carrying the water bottle or running gear, holding the children and cheering from the sidelines. Most of these races support charities and causes specific to women. It's an opportunity for us to help our community and raise awareness for breast or ovarian cancer, poverty, crisis centers, etc.
It's a chance for women to take center stage and celebrate women's athletic abilities. So join with your mother, daughter, sister, friend, grandmother, grandchild, aunt or niece and find a race to support.
