MEDAL MONDAY 🥇✨

Yesterday, these medals became so much more than something waiting at the finish line. 🌸

They represent the training miles, big goals, first races, PRs and every reason you showed up for SHE RUNS Grand Rapids. But the best part? The smiles, hugs, celebrations and an incredible community of women cheering each other on. To every SHE who crossed that finish line yesterday: YOU DID IT. 🥳

We’re so grateful you chose to spend your Sunday with SHE RUNS GR! 💜

SKIP THE FOMO. 👀👟

She Runs Grand Rapids race week is here, and spots are going fast!

The virtual races are SOLD OUT, and just 38 spots remain between the 5K + 10K. 

But if 13.1 has been on your mind, this might be your sign. 

The Half Marathon is a great way to get in some race-day miles ahead of a fall marathon, especially if you’re heading into taper. Add in a gorgeous race weekend, the energy of SHE RUNS GR and a finish line waiting for you... sounds like a pretty good Sunday morning to us.

And for race week, we’re making it even easier:

🎉 RACE WEEK SPECIAL: Save $10 on the Half Marathon with code RaceWeek10. Code is case sensitive.

Race day is Sunday, September 27. Don’t just watch everyone else cross that finish line. Come join us!

Every mile can make a difference. 💜

SHE RUNS Grand Rapids is proud to support two organizations working every day to strengthen and empower girls and women in our community: Girls on the Run West Michigan and the YWCA of West Central Michigan.

When you join us on race day, you’re going beyond the finish line to support causes that matter. 🌸 Together, we’re making every mile count.

We’re proud to have Girls on the Run West Michigan and the YWCA of West Central Michigan as our 2026 charity partners!
