AboutAt Gazelle Sports we actively pursue, encourage and celebrate a healthy lifestyle. We have a vision to change West Michigan by making it the healthiest region in the country. In 2013 over 3000 women came together to run the streets of Grand Rapids. Over 700 women ran the half marathon or the 5k for the first time. That's what it's about! Next year's event is going to be even better and we hope you will join us! Gazelle Sports is hosting this event:

Title IXWe are celebrating the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the law that made discrimination between men’s and women’s educational programs illegal. Title IX had its largest impact expanding girls' and women's sports at the high school and college level. This ultimately created professional opportunities for female athletes. Sports wouldn't be what it is today without Title IX. We've got stories! Click here to read inspiring and personal stories about the impact of Title IX. |

Map/DirectionsThe maps are here! Click the link to view each map: We had to alter our routes for the half marathon and 5k just slightly due to some flooding on the course. If you'd like to see the updated maps, just click the links below! The entire course will be re-opened to vehicular traffic after 3.5 hours. Runners still on the course will be asked to use the sidewalks. The finish line will remain open until all of the runners cross it!
