March is Women’s History Month — a time to honor the strength, resilience, and impact of women past, present, and future.

At the heart of what we do is a simple but powerful belief:
When women show up for themselves, they show up stronger everywhere else.

Whether you walk, jog, run, volunteer, sponsor, or cheer from the sidelines — you are part of something bigger. You are part of a community that uplifts women of all ages, all paces, and all backgrounds.

This month, we celebrate:

✨ Women who lead
✨ Women who lift others up
✨ Women who prioritize their health
✨ Women who rewrite their stories
✨ Women who run toward what’s possible

Tag a woman who inspires you.
Share a story that shaped you.
Keep moving forward — together.

Want to be a part of an amazing community of women? Join our Run for Women Training Challenge: https://runsignup.com/Race/Events/NY/Albany/DelightfulRunForWomen -1009377

We’re celebrating the power of women supporting women.

Megan James, of Immersion PT, she's a physical therapist, runner, and mom, shares what makes the Run for Women so special: it’s one of the few races where elite athletes line up at the same start as first-time 5K participants… and everyone is cheered on with the same energy.

Strong women. Fast women. First-time runners. Walkers. Come-as-you-are women.

Our Run for Women Training Challenge begins in just three weeks! Join us!

Some of us had the chance to meet Jeff at run events. A gracious and knowledgeable athlete who loved sharing his passion for the sport. We use his run/walk method in our Run for Women Training Challenge program.

Jeff didn’t just teach people how to run. He changed who believed they could run.

At a time when the running boom often felt exclusive and performance-driven, Jeff introduced a simple, revolutionary idea: the run-walk method. That approach opened doors for beginners, older athletes, injury-prone runners, and especially women who were stepping into a sport that hadn’t always made space for them.

Because of Jeff:
✨ Countless women completed their first 5K.
✨ Mothers ran alongside daughters.
✨ Survivors reclaimed strength in their bodies.
✨ Community replaced intimidation.

He championed consistency over ego. Longevity over burnout. Joy over pace.

For women’s running, his impact is immeasurable. He helped normalize starting where you are. He validated that walking is not weakness. He gave permission to pursue big goals in sustainable ways. Many women found confidence and lifelong community, through programs influenced by his philosophy.

Rest in peace, Jeff.
Thank you for helping generations of women discover that they are stronger than they imagined. 💛

Jeff Galloway, the much-loved mentor of many American runners, who became a formative figure in the running movement by his tireless promotion of the sport and its life benefits, died on Wednesday at the age of 80 from complications from a stroke and brain bleeding, Runner’s World has learned.

After becoming what he called an “unlikely Olympian,” Galloway applied his teaching skills to his love of running, and for more than 50 years he was ingeniously inventive in finding ways to recruit, inspire, and educate runners. He was a pioneer of the run/walk method, also known as the “Galloway Method” or “Jeffing,” which instructed runners to add walking intervals into their runs.

Dr. Jackie Sullivan and Dr. Katie Mars share why self-care is essential for mothers — not just for themselves, but for their families.

They remind us: our kids are always watching. When we prioritize our well-being, we show them what healthy self-care looks like.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it sets the example.
