Celebrating Women and Running

Thanks to everyone who responded and for all the terrific suggestions highlighting women’s running. We hope that you’ll find something among these curated listings that provides inspiration, information or an opportunity to enjoy running from a different perspective.

April 4th was the publication day for Des Linden’s new book, CHOOSING TO RUN: A MEMOIR. And we’ve pulled some strings to get a copy signed by Des (up in Boston prepping for the marathon) which will be gifted to the winner of our upcoming Mother’s Day 5k.
