Over 500 women of all ages will race in the 15th Annual Women's Distance Festival 5K, sponsored by the NC Roadrunners Club. A co-ed children's run will take place after the women's race. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Interact.
This year's course will run through the historic Mordecai neighborhood and start and finish at the Halifax Community Center, near Peace College. Women of all ages are encouraged to participate. For many women, this event is often their first opportunity to take part in a group-running activity.
If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities or would like to perform at the event, contact Allison Strickland at 919-828-7501, ext. 109.
