March is Women’s History Month
March is all about celebrating the incredible strength and achievements of women—both in history and in our running community. Whether you're lacing up for your first 5K or pushing toward a half marathon goal, you inspire us.
Did you know that in 1967, Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon? Despite attempts to remove her from the race, she persevered and finished strong, paving the way for women in running. Whether you’re taking your first steps in a 5K or working toward a marathon, every mile is a a nod to the grit and perseverance that keep women moving forward. This month, let’s set new goals, cheer each other on, and celebrate every milestone, whether it’s on the pavement, the trail, or beyond.
