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:
Saturday October 18th from 8:00-12:00noon - at Northwest Personal Training (Vancouver Studio, 1011 Broadway)
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.

• Sit and relax and chat with other cool women like yourself after you finish – that’s what girlfriends do best!

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!”

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®: We have all either directly or indirectly been impacted by the effects of breast cancer. One hundred percent of the profits of the Girlfriends Half Marathon will go directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®- Oregon & SW Washington Affiliate, the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. The organization’s promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is dedicated to curing breast cancer at every stage - from the causes to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between.

Girlfriend – how do you finish 13.1 miles? You can run, jog, walk or crawl. We don’t care as long as you get there. Unfortunately, for liability reasons, no bikes, skateboards or rollerblades are allowed. Although wouldn’t that be a cool sight to see a bunch of moms and grandmas roller-blading for 13.1 miles. Are jogger strollers allowed? Well, 13.1 miles for the kiddies might be a little much. Unless you don’t mind hearing “Mom, How much longer?” for a couple hours. Yeah, it might be a good idea to find a sitter for this one and just enjoy the event with your girlfriends. But invite the kids to come and see you finish. You’ll provide an awesome role model for them. Drop subtle hints about how much you’d love for them to have flowers and balloons for you at the finish line. And be sure they make signs for you. Some of our favorites are “Go Mommy Go” or “My Grandma’s a rock-star!”. Or maybe get them a white shirt that they can decorate with encouraging words like “My Mom can run faster than Your Mom!”
