- Sister/Sister

You can still add to a team today and update your team. Please check your team as we have many that do not have the required minimum number of people entered. For example a sister/sister team must have 2 athletes.

We’re so excited to cheer you on at the Delightful Run for Women! To ensure every participant gets their unforgettable finish line moment—and to keep everyone safe—please remember:
Spectators must remain in designated viewing areas.
Finished runners should not gather near or return to the finish line area.
We’ve hired professional photographers and videographers to capture your big moment, and we don’t want anyone’s finish blocked or missed! Plus, every runner deserves a clear, safe path to cross the line, receive their finisher medal, and head to get water beyond the media and spectator lines.
Let’s keep the finish line joyful, safe, and photo-ready for everyone!
