She Runs Grand Rapids 2025 | Women’s Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
She Runs Grand Rapids is back for 2025, bringing together women from across West Michigan and beyond to celebrate strength, community, and the pure joy of running. Mark your calendars—this inspiring event takes place on Sunday, May 11, 2025, in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids.
What Is She Runs GR?
Formerly known as the Gazelle Girl, She Runs Grand Rapids has become one of the premier women’s running events in Michigan. It’s more than just a race—it’s a celebration of women supporting women, whether you’re a first-time 5K runner or a seasoned half marathoner chasing your next PR.
The event features three distances:
-
5K – perfect for walkers, beginners, or anyone looking to soak in the uplifting atmosphere.
-
10K – a great middle-distance challenge.
-
Half Marathon (13.1 miles) – the signature event that winds through scenic parts of Grand Rapids.
Why She Runs Stands Out
She Runs isn’t just about crossing the finish line. The event is designed to uplift and empower:
-
All Women’s Race – a supportive, encouraging environment.
-
Community Impact – proceeds support local charities that make a difference for women and families in West Michigan.
-
Inclusive Atmosphere – run, jog, or walk at your own pace—everyone belongs.
Plus, the weekend kicks off with an expansive fitness expo featuring local vendors, gear, and wellness resources to get you race-ready.
A Celebration Beyond Running
The energy of She Runs extends far beyond the streets. Runners and their supporters come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere filled with music, cheer stations, and post-race celebrations in downtown GR. Whether you’re running, cheering, or volunteering, you’ll feel the spirit of community all around.
