About She Runs Grand Rapids presented by Gazelle Sports and the University of Michigan Health-West: 

 

She Runs Grand Rapids started in 2013 (then called Gazelle Girl) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX. Over the past 10 years, thousands of women from 30 states and abroad have joined us. This event has connected women through movement, achievement, celebration, friendship and fun! We continue to envision this event as a key part of the transformation toward healthier living in West Michigan. We are actively reaching out to underserved communities so that they can successfully participate in the event, and will offer scholarships to runners where financial barriers exist.

 

We are proud that 100 percent of the event profits will be donated to our longstanding charity partners, Girls on the Run, the YWCA of West Central Michigan, and the Gazelle Sports Foundation. On May 1, 2022 we will celebrate the legacy of what we’ve built, honor the moment in which we now find ourselves, and look ahead to the future of inclusivity in the running community. Our sincerest hope is that you’re as excited as we are about the evolution of this event. Will you join us for year 10?
