Known for its big race feel with small town hospitality, the event offers competitive fields, top-3 age group awards in all distances, beautiful course and electric atmosphere that has attracted ladies from all over the US! 31 states were represented in 2024. Women encouraging and supporting women makes it a special day. Toeing the line with friends and family, participing for themselves or others. The course offers a beautiful run with shade, parks, ponds and trees.  The wonderful post-race area party in Civic Square offers more than most marathons including free food and adult beverages.  And don't forget about Carmel's award winning Farmers Market, a 5-minute walk from the finish line.  Free parking at the Expo and on race day!  Within walking distance shopping, restaurants and more!  There is something special at a women's only event. Join us to see what everyone is talking about.
