Women - of all ages, generations, fitness levels, running
enthusiasts, walkers, wheelers, strollers -can all benefit from the
coming together to encourage each other, celebrate and enjoy a grand day
for themselves. The grandmothers can inspire their granddaughters, the
young ones can hop, skip and jump their way to a finish, mothers and
daughters can cheer and run side by side for support. Memories are made
in company of friends, colleagues, family and our 'competitors. This is
the day for all of the women to be Divas, for fitness, for health, for
the pure enjoyment of being out and on the move. Our gracious host is
again Community Medical Center, and with their spirit and energy, the
party will be better than ever.

with your friends, daughters, mothers, grandmothers, nieces, all
welcome!

I joined RWM back in 2008 because I wanted to run a Marathon and training alone I could never get myself out the door or go for runs more than 4-5 miles. Five years later I've completed that Marathon and countless half marathons with the help of the Spring Marathon training class and encouragement of the coaches and other runners. The biggest benefit of the club though has been all the great people I've met that I can now call my best running friends.
