We'll also have a Little Giraffe Gallop so participants of all ages and abilities can join in the fun.

The first 200 participants to register will secure a custom race-themed bib! Your race registration includes a bib and a finisher medal, you can ADD on a race theme shirt.

On-site, you'll enjoy:

Our events are designed to bring women together, build confidence, create lasting friendships, and make race day something you'll look forward to all year long.
