The International Women's Day Running Connection is a day to encourage, support and promote participation by women in running by providing connections and information to help women enjoy running safely in their community.
Men are invited, too!
The goal of the day is connection and safety:
Connection with one another and with other runners like them in the community where you live,
Launching a safety plan, "Safe on the go", to empower women and vulnerable people to be safe and free.
Women are integral members of our running community - this event is aimed at uplifting women runners, young and old, new and improving.
