We're just 15 days out from a price increase for race entry to the Rochester Women's 4-Mile Run and we wanted to highlight a few of the incredible additions that our team has been busy working on for the 2025 race. We hope you'll join us this year. As always, this race is open to all who identify as female and is a RRC Grand Prix race!

A few additions to this year's Rochester Women's 4-Mile Run that we want to highlight for everyone:
- A new Free Girl's 1 Mile Fun Run
- Each race entry also earns you tickets to a raffle with some incredible prizes (lululemon gift cards worth $178 each and more!)
- A diapers & wipes drive to support the incredible women and their children at the Jeremiah Project
- Some amazing race swag (a Nomadix brand custom fitness towel for the first 200 race registrants to the 4-Mile Run)
- Free race registration to all females under 18 who register for the 4-Mile Run

This weekend, many of our runners will be participating in the Med City Marathon, Half Marathon, 20-mile race, or volunteering at these events! To offer our full support for these runners, there will not be a Saturday Morning Training Run nor a Sunday Off Season Striders Run this week. Never fear though - we'll be back next weekend for some great group runs, hopefully with some great recaps of everyone's races!

Good luck to all who are racing this weekend!

Introducing: The Step Project: First Steps to a First 5K or Half Marathon. Beginning May 31, 2025.

If you or someone in your life is curious about getting started on their running journey and would like to learn how to integrate running into any lifestyle while training for a first half marathon or 5K, consider joining us for The Step Project.

Targeting the Healthy Human Half Marathon and 5K races on August 23, 2025, this structured training plan will bring together new runners in the community to train together, learn & grow together, and achieve their running goals. Throughout, we're excited to be offering structured training plans, educational talks, group training opportunities, an online forum for participant connections on and off the run.

This program will operate on 4 tenets:
1. Inclusivity: All are welcome regardless of pace, including walkers transitioning to runner.
2. Mentorship: Small groups mentored by more experienced runners
3. Community Building: Opportunities for post-run meetups and online forums for connection, support, and progress sharing
4. Education: Weekly short talks on essential running topics

This program is free to join, but you do have the option to bundle race registration, a team The STEP Project technical t-shirt or tank top, and RRC membership at time of registration for a discount.

We hope you'll consider joining and we're excited to support you as you embark on your running journey!

This Mother's Day, we celebrate every woman who nurtures, supports, and inspires— on and off the run. To the moms of children, the moms by heart, adoptive moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, pet moms, the women who have dreamed of motherhood in any form, and the women who find motherhood in any other space — you are all part of what makes our community strong.

Whether you're running after little feet or chasing your next finish line, we see you. And we’d love to run with you.

To honor the women in our community, we're offering $5.11 off registration with promo code MOTHERSDAY4 now through the 11:59PM on May 11, 2025.

Med City Marathon week is finally here! The usual mid-week social runs are scheduled as usual, but our weekend Saturday Morning Training Run and Sunday Off Season Striders Run will have a hiatus this week as many of our local runners will be racing this weekend! Hope you all will join in on some weekday runs this week and we can't wait to hear about how everyone's races go next week!

For those of you racing at Med City, remember that the full Marathon is an RRC Grand Prix event!

A Mayo Clinic researcher, Dr. Kathryn Larson, is recruiting masters athletes (athletes over 40) for several studies! Information is on the flyers uploaded below. She is particularly focusing recruitment right now on female masters athletes who are post-menopausal and can enroll individuals up to 70 years of age. The goal of the myocardial stiffness study is to better understand how aging and endurance exercise impact the female heart. She also welcomes anyone with questions to reach out to her directly at [email protected]
