SHE RUNS Grand Rapids Expo 2022 presented by Foster Swift
This year's expo will be an event in itself! Brought to you by Foster Swift, the interactive expo will be a celebration of everything that SHE RUNS Grand Rapids is!
This year, we have something quite special planned for expo Saturday. On April 30th from 11 am to 5 pm take a stroll down the bricks of Grand Rapids’ first paved road, Monroe Center, and be the inaugural guests of our new store at 52 Monroe Center. Check in and receive your SHE RUNS Grand Rapids shirt just down the road at 74 Monroe Center, and experience our expo space in the famed lobby.
