Girlfriends Run - Half Marathon, 10K & 6K

The Girlfriends Run is a beloved fall race and walk along the Vancouver Waterfront created for women to come together and do something good for themselves while supporting an important cause. Now in its 20th year, it offers half marathon, 10K, and 6K distances, and participants are welcome to run, jog, walk, or mix it up, since about half the field walks and many combine both. Although the event is designed for and centered on women, it welcomes men, families, friends, teams, and workplace groups to join in support. Proceeds benefit breast-cancer care in Southwest Washington and Oregon, and the run was founded to honor a local breast-cancer survivor who continues to take part with her family each year. Over nearly two decades the event has raised more than $900,000 for women's causes. Registration is required and varies by distance. Expect a festive, encouraging atmosphere at the scenic waterfront start and finish.
