Reminder: WDF this weekend!



The Women’s Distance Festival, a 2 mile all-women’s race, will be held this Saturday, July 11th at Washington Park. Proceeds from this event are donated to Girls on the Run.

The Women’s Distance Festival is perfect for all females because…..
· The distance….only 2 miles!
· The atmosphere….a celebration of women of all ages.
· The participants….women/girls of all running and walking skill levels complete the 2 mile distance.
· The benefactor….proceeds from the race go to support Girls on the Run!

Event details and registration for the event is available online at http://www.womensdistance.com/ .

GOTR participants will be recognized at the event….and will make the GOTR program more “real” to the community. I hope you and your “girlfriends” can join us for the event. Your support of GOTR and the Women’s Distance Festival is appreciated.

Director – Girls on the Run of Springfield

Our group leaders are going to take us to the cemetery next week to do some hills and I was just making sure there will be water. Thanks.

One big loop in Washington Park. The race starts at the Tennis Courts and we then run the loop clock-wise (heading West first). Down the hill, turn right (after the water), turn right and run straight to MacArthur. Turn right at MacArthur and right again back West. Anohter left and make your way back to the picnic shelter. The course is marked with spray paint- WDF start/finish and each quarter (8 of them) is also marked.
