This scenic 5 mile race along the ocean is all about the ladies and what makes us feel good about ourselves. As women who run, we wanted to create a race that would allow women to do what they do best, set goals and exceed them. This may be your very first race or first 5 miler or a race you hope to set a new Personal Record (PR). Sign up early and you can join us for Running clinics in September and October along with a free 8 week training plan to help you prepare for the big day.

Awards will go to the overall first finisher, as well as first grandmother, executive, business owner, policewaman, firewoman, and woman who has served in our military. If we get really creative we might add a few more sepcial categories, just for kicks.

Excellent event....chocolate was a nice touch for the women and the finish medal was unique. I have organized a few races and know how much hard work goes into it and I congratulate you all on the day being a success. Only thing I feel was needed was a definite START sign. You should feel great about the wonderful event you ran! Hope you do it again next year! Thanks!
I loved this race. It was very well organized with lots of volunteers that were very helpful. I will definitely plan to do it again. Only thing I would have liked was some mile markers...unless I passed them and didn\'t see them...other than that it was awesome!
Great, fun race with beautiful scenery along the water......Good swag including the new PRP coozie (will be put to good use) LOVED the flip flop necklace......Nice spread after the race with lots of chocolate........Giving flowers to the winners was a nice touch......Several random prizes with many pink T shirts thrown out to the crowd............
Great job race committee. Thought went into lots of details making this race so cool and fun. Of course the great day and sparkling ocean helped too! I loved the coffee at the end. Instant results were appreciated. One thought for next year:make a start line. Thanks for a really fun event.
This was a great race. I am definitely going to run this again w/ my girlfriends. Only one improvement that they can make is the start of the race. This was a little confusing and did not seem organized.
Great race. I will be doing this race again next year! Loved the Beautiful flip flop pendant we were given for finishing. Could not have a better view. They also gave lot\'s of post race prizes. I Enjoyed the day,Thanks so much for a wonderful 1st race.
