Run for Women

02/04/2026

National Girls & Women in Sports Day 🏃♀️💪

Today we celebrate the girls who play, the women who compete, and the athletes who show up—strong, determined, and unapologetically themselves.

Sports teach us confidence, resilience, leadership, and the power of community. Every finish line crossed, every goal scored, and every barrier broken makes space for the next generation to rise even stronger.

Here’s to running bold, lifting each other up, and proving—every single day—that strength has no gender. 💖

Our race director, Kristen Hislop, was quoted on Nike.com in an article about how to start running.

'Start small. One of the biggest pitfalls for new runners is taking on too much too fast, which can lead to burnout or even injury. “When you start and go from zero to 13.1, that's a big load to take on,” Hislop says. Instead, she emphasizes starting with a goal that fits into your current lifestyle, which makes it more likely to become a practice you value.'
