2013 Women’s Races
We wanted to make it easier for you to plot out your 2013 race calendar so we compiled this list of women’s races. If you’ve done a bunch of women’s-only races, like we have, you already know the awesome tribe-vibe you get at them. If you haven’t run a leave-the-fellows-behind race, this is your year to do one. Trust us.

I love hearing about the swag also!
I don’t know if someone mentioned this already, but the other day I came across a sweet half for women in Moab, an homage to Thelma and Louise. It’s where they filmed a lot of the movie, including the cliff they drove off in the end. This will be the second annual year the event will take place. It’s mostly flat, but the scenery is phenomenal! My husband and I have gone jeepin in that area a lot. Definitely a girlfriend’s race!

The Western Maryland Women’s Half Marathon and 5K will be Sunday, November 3, 2013. Save the date! Check out our web site for more details: http://www.tracservicesllc.com
The last 6 miles are down hill on the trail.
My girlfriend just started her own race timing business, T.R.A.C. Services LLC. She and I are putting on our first Women’s Half Marathon and 5K show casing our area. Sunday, November 3, 2013 in scenic Western Maryland. Come run the Highlands Trail and Canal Path with your girlfriends.
In my hometown of Olympia, WA there is a Womens Moon Run 4K & Half Marathon, organized by Guerilla Running. Swag includes chocolates at the finish line served by men in formal wear, plus a sterling silver custom finisher’s necklace. The 2013 race will benefit the CHS Debate Team and local efforts to end the international trafficking of women.
There is a run that is showing up on all the Michigan run sites but it’s not on this page.
