Our community is invited to come and cheer on a few thousand women walking and running to benefit Breast Cancer Treatment & Research. The event is women-friendly with chocolate, massage and Fireman at the finish line. The event has raised nearly $400,00 over the last 9 years so be a part of something very special.
Highlights for the 10th Anniversary:
• The SWAG is off the charts! Each participant gets a long sleeve, women’s technical finishers’ shirt, a medal AND a necklace, inspirational arm sleeves, Girlfriends Visor and more!
• 2 options including a Half & Quarter Marathon (6.55 and 13.1 miles) and half the gals walk or walk/run so everyone is welcome!
• The course are flat and fast and so beautiful along the Columbia River, Fort Vancouver, Officers Row and more
• Firemen waiting for all Girlfriends at the finish line
• Brunch, chocolate, mimosas and more once you cross the finish line!
