THE EDMONTON WOMEN'S RUN AND WALK
We are pleased to welcome women of all ages to participate in Edmonton's first Women's Only run and walk in Edmonton! With the growing popularity of Women only runs around the world, this is sure to become an annual event in Edmonton.
To encourage and support women as they embrace healthier and more active lifestyles, this event is suited to runners and walkers of all levels. Recreational athletes will enjoy the opportunity to run or walk either the 5km or 10km course while more competitive athletes can test their ability against other women!
Spectators are encouraged to come out and support family and friends as they make their way through the beautiful river valley course. Everyone is welcome to stay and share in the refreshments and festivities after the race.
We look forward to seeing you on June 27TH!
