2024 Women Run the Cities
"The energy was amazing. It felt unique as the race was mostly made up of women. I felt very
safe, supported, and encouraged in the environment despite not being a huge runner!"
2024 Women Run the Cities Participant
"It was so cool to see that many women in one place, there to reach a common goal. This was my first year participating, and I am definitely putting this on my
calendar for next year. This race was also just really really well done and the after-race
festivities were top-notch."
