Support Local Women-Owned Businesses
The Duluth Women's 10 Mile was created in partnership with the Entrepreneur Fund (501c3) to support local women business owners with resources, training, and advising they need to succeed. All funds raised go toward programs that help women start, grow and strengthen their businesses.
Since 2021, this event has raised over $25,000. This year our goal is to raise $10,000- and you can help us reach it by running, donating and fundraising.
Your participation directly supports women entrepreneurs in our community.
Our presenting partner, Ascential Wealth Advisors, has been with us from the beginning. They support the amazing event is so many ways. Look for them running, handing out water at their station at mile 4, cheering on finishers, and dishing out 3rd Street Bakery cookies at the finish line.
We can't imagine the Duluth Women's 10 Mile with out them!

You can expect morning temperatures to be between 45-55 degrees and late morning temps around 55-65 degrees. We can get rain but its less likely than in other months. You can expect wind off the lake, probably from the north which can give you a nice boost in the final miles.
To prepare for weather and appropriate clothing and gear choices, check the weather frequently during race week and if you are travelling, bring clothing that fits all types of conditions.

The finish line celebration is one of the best around. Andrea (the creator of DW10 & co-owner of DRC), Ascential Wealth Advisors, our presenting partner, the Entrepreneur Fund, and all our other amazing partners are there to cheer you on to your finish!
Beyond the amazing crowd of spectators and finishers waiting for you- we have food and coffee vendors, shoe demos, and deals in-store at DRC waiting for you at the finish line!
We encourage all participants to stick around, not just for the fun, but to cheer on each and every finisher from the first, coming in at around 9:00 AM, to the last at 11:00 AM!
DRC & Mount To Coast will be giving away multiple pairs of R1 shoes to finishers that enter the drawing at the finish. We will draw winners after the awards. You must be present to win.
Monika Irhke, a local artist and runner based in Duluth, designed our logo and crafts our awards. These limited prints are given to the top 3 women finishers overall and to each of the top 3 age group finishers.
