The Duluth Women’s 10 Mile is an awe-inspiring event that brings women together to run 10 incredible miles together. 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 course will take you from the skyline to the shoreline as it traverses the hillside before descending Seven Bridges Road where you'll "Bridge the Gap" on a beautiful forest road that winds across the bridges before arriving at the shore of Lake Superior. The second half of the course winds along the Lake on the Lakewalk to the finish at Duluth Running Co. near downtown Duluth.
“Bridging the Gap" is a metaphor for the gap women face. It’s a pay gap. It’s an accessibility gap. It’s many other gaps, and these gaps have consequences. Together with the Entrepreneur Fund (501c3) we’ve created an opportunity to Bridge the Gap. All donations and funds raised from this event support women entrepreneurs with resources to build and grow sustainable businesses.
