Run Like a Girl 8k · May 6 by Kurt Peterson
Just two words can describe Sunday’s Run Like a Girl 8k Women’s only trail race—”smashing success.”
Combine 400 female runners, a wonderful beneficiary like the HERA Foundation that raises money for ovarian cancer research, surprisingly good weather, and a well organized trail race, and you have one first class event that Blue Ridge will be proud to support in the years to come. Through race registration and additional race shirt sales donated, the Richmond race raised $3,948 to date for the HERA Foundation.
If you would still like to purchase a technical race tank from the race, they are available at the Richmond store for $10 while supplies last! 100% of these sales goes to the HERA Foundation.
Be sure to check out the race results. We’re extra proud of all the Blue Ridge staff that ran in the event, and a special shout out to Tracy Schrage, the overall winner and a member of the Richmond store staff!
A special thanks goes to Paul Curran and everyone at Montrail, Mark Junkerman, the race organizer, Susanne and Tracy that led all the training runs leading up to the race, and all the volunteers that made this such a seamless event.
Go ahead . . . hug your planet. Everyday. Hiking to Help Women Build
I am going to link to this article on RuninRich.com. I would like to feature one or more of the pictures as a “Picture of the Day.” Please email me if this would be OK with you. I will make the byline “Courtesy of Blue Ridge Mountain Sports” or however you would like it to read. Thanks!
