Brief Description

Sorry Girlfriends, we are full! Registration is closed so we can provide the type of experience we envisioned. Please come back next year. Thanks for your interest!

A Half Marathon designed specifically for women to get together to do something good for themselves and to help support a very important women's cause.

About the Course

13.1 mile mostly flat and scenic course traveling along historic Officer’s Row, Fort Vancouver, the Columbian Riverfront and more. This course is so pretty, the miles may even fly by! It’s a great course for a Personal Best!

Race Start and Finish

Northwest Personal Training (1011 Broadway, Vancouver WA 98660, 360.574.7292)
Parking is Free on Weekends.
Note: In order to ensure a smooth start and for the sanity of all volunteers, there will be NO RACE DAY REGISTRATIONS. So sign up early to reserve your spot. Last year, we sold out early and sadly, had to turn many girlfriends away.

Start Time

Race Starts at 9:00am sharp. It’s always wise to get to an event at least 30-60 minutes ahead of schedule to ensure you’ve got enough time to get organized, take a potty break and not feel rushed.

Packet Pick-up

Pick-up your Race-day kit, Goodie Bag & Race Bib Number at Northwest Personal Training: Friday October 15th from 5:30am-7:00pm Saturday October 16th from 8:00am-5:00pm On Race Day from 7:00-8:15am. Please don’t leave this to the last minute – it makes for a hectic race start. A good girlfriend is considerate of these kinds of things. :)

Additional Information

How do you describe your best girlfriend?
You love to hang with her – no matter what you’re doing.
You can tell her anything without judgment.
She inspires you to do and be better.
She lifts you up and empowers you.
She helps you to see the bright side when you’re going through a tough time.
You can laugh and cry and sometimes just do nothing with her.
So who is your best girlfriend? Is it your mom, your sis, your daughter, someone you’ve known for years or someone you just met recently? One thing is consistent – it’s someone you connect with on a deep level, a soul sister. And bottom line - when girlfriends get together they can accomplish anything! There’s nothing better, more beautiful than a bunch of strong, powerful, passionate women on a mission! And that’s why collectively, as a group of determined gals, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Plus when you cross the finish line, you can’t imagine how that positively impacts YOUR entire life.
The sense of accomplishment you will feel is unbelievable and it will provide you with the strength and confidence to conquer anything in your life. So – “Go Girlfriend Go Girlfriend Go!”
