SHE RUNS Grand Rapids 5k

 

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting your movement journey, SHE RUNS GR is a race you won’t want to miss. With a range of distances to choose from, including a 5K, 10K and half-marathon, we want to see movement change as many lives as possible. 

 

 

New Location, New Season, New Adventure

 

This year we’ll gather at the historic Grand Rapids community hub John Ball Park. Taking to the streets together this fall will bring new picturesque views and plenty of summer training time. We hope you’ll join us on this new adventure!
