💜 Women Who Rise💜
💜Meet Lauren P. Barbara 💜
Lauren’s journey has not been easy. Through heartbreaking loss, grief, unexpected change, and challenges she never would have chosen, she kept moving forward.
Instead of letting life’s hardest moments define her, Lauren chose to grow through them. She found healing, strength, and purpose through health and fitness, and today she helps others do the same.
Lauren reminds us that strength isn’t about never struggling—it’s about continuing to rise, even when the road is hard.
Lauren’s resilience, grace, and heart inspire others daily!

Register to be a part of the WDF on Sunday, July 12th. For Lauren. For each other. For every woman finding her way back to herself.

✨ WHEN WOMEN SUPPORT WOMEN, AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN ✨

Women lifting each other up.
Women cheering each other on.
Women showing up exactly as they are and crossing the finish line together.

There’s more than one way to participate in race day.

You can run.
You can walk.
You can bring your kids.
You can cheer, volunteer, donate, support the community, participate virtually or simply help spread the word.

💜WOMEN WHO RISE 💜

Meet Anlly — a woman whose greatest motivation is her children.

Every mile she runs, every workout she completes, and every challenge she takes on is rooted in one simple goal: being there for her kids for as long as possible. Running isn’t just exercise for Anlly—it’s a way to build a healthier future and create lasting memories doing what she loves most: being active alongside her children.

But she knows that the journey is about more than the miles. It’s about the women beside you who encourage you, inspire you, and remind you of what you’re capable of when you start to doubt yourself.

To Anlly, Together We Rise means finding strength in community. It’s knowing that while you may be running your own race, you never have to run it alone. Surrounded by strong, inspiring women, every step becomes more meaningful and every finish line feels a little sweeter.✨

This is what rising looks like.

Showing up.
Moving forward.
Cheering louder.
Finishing stronger.

For yourself.
For each other.
For something bigger.

Because every step means more when we take it together.

Rise with us on July 12th. 💜

💜 THE RIGHT WDF RACE WILL… 💜

The Women’s Distance Festival has never been just about the miles.

It’s about finding a community that reminds you that you belong exactly as you are.

✨ The right race will hold space for you when life feels heavy.
✨ It will have your back when the road gets tough.
✨ It will accept you whether you’re chasing a PR, walking your first 5K, or simply showing up.
✨ It will make you feel safe, supported, and seen.
✨ It will respect your journey.
✨ It will include everyone at the starting line.
✨ It will celebrate every victory—big or small.
✨ It will lift you up when you doubt yourself.
✨ And it will cheer for you every step of the way.

That is what the WDF is all about.

Because when women come together, incredible things happen.

💜 Together We Rise.
🏃‍♀️ Walk. Run. Cheer. Belong.
