Duluth Women's 10 Mile

THE DULUTH WOMENS 10 MILE IS AN AWE-INSPIRING EXPERIENCE THAT BRINGS WOMEN TOGETHER TO RUN TEN INCREDIBLE MILES FROM THE SKYLINE TO SHORELINE. THIS RUN WAS CREATED TO EMPOWER WOMEN, AND TO CHEER THEM ON IN A RACE WHERE THEY ARE CELEBRATED.

THE SUNRISE START HIGH ON HAWK RIDGE PROVIDES EXPANSIVE LAKE SUPERIOR VIEWS WITH BREATHTAKING COLORS AND ENERGY. THE POINT-TO-POINT COURSE STARTS ON SKYLINE PARKWAY AND TRAVERSES THE HILLSIDE BEFORE DESCENDING SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD WHERE YOU'LL "BRIDGE THE GAP" ON THE BEAUTIFUL DESCENT THAT WINDS ACROSS THE BRIDGES BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE LAKE SUPERIOR SHORELINE. THE SECOND HALF OF THE COURSE TAKES YOU ALONG THE LAKEWALK TO THE FINISH IN LEIF ERICKSON PARK NEAR DOWNTOWN DULUTH.

BRIDGING THE GAP IS A METAPHOR FOR THE GAP WOMEN FACE. ITS A PAY GAP. ITS AN ACCESSIBILITY GAP. ITS MANY OTHER GAPS, AND THESE GAPS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. THIS EVENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRIDGE THE GAP. TOGETHER WITH THE ENTREPRENEUR FUND (501C3) AND THE WOMENS BUSINESS ALLIANCE WEVE CREATED THE BRIDGING THE GAP FUND. ALL DONATIONS AND FUNDS RAISED FROM THIS EVENT GO TO THE FUND AND PROVIDE WOMEN WITH RESOURCES TO BUILD AND GROW SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES.
