It’s been a minute since we’ve done a , so we figured… why not make it a Women’s History Month edition?!

Today we’re showing some love to a few of the incredible women in the RIDC community who are out here putting in the miles, building community, and making moves in the running world.

Medals are cool, but the impact the women in our community have? Even better.

Tap through to celebrate them with us. And while you’re here… tag a woman in the running community who’s doing it big so we can show her some love too!

This one is special to us as we just opened an RIDC office in Philly and we’re excited to celebrate this milestone with the community.

Whether you’re pulling up from DC, New York, or anywhere else for race weekend, come through and experience the city with us.

Good people. Good vibes. Special RIDC giveaways you can only get at this event. So go ahead and start the group chat now so your whole crew is ready to hang with the RIDC!

Sidebar… A couple of posts ago, we shared that one of our core RIDC values is Love of Running. The belief that running has the power to bring people together, create connection, and build real community and healing. With Philly being the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection,  it’s only right that we gather here to celebrate the love of the sport and the love of the city.

See you there!
