SHE RUNS Grand Rapids

This upcoming year, Gazelle Girl is preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Although we are looking ahead to a return to an in-person event, we are also reflecting in gratitude on the incredible community that we’ve built over the last 9 years. 

Over the last ten years, our city, our nation and our world have all changed and the last 18 months in particular pushed our perspectives to open more broadly in acknowledgment of what’s most important- caring for each other. Gazelle Girl has always aimed to be an inclusive event, and that commitment has only deepened as we move into year ten, so it's time for the event to evolve- including a new name, a new logo, and a renewed commitment to authentic inclusivity of every She who strives to be the best version of herself through movement. She Runs Grand Rapids will maintain the heart of Gazelle Girl and expand upon the invitation to every She who runs. 

On May 1, 2022 we will celebrate the legacy of what we’ve built, honor the moment in which we now find ourselves, and look ahead to the future of inclusivity in the running community. Our sincerest hope is that you’re as excited as we are about the evolution of this event.
