A Morning for Women and Girls to Shine
Join us Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Canton, Ohio, for a morning full of movement, community, and encouragement. The Women’s 6K Festival welcomes women and girls of all ages and fitness levels.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or taking your first steps in a race, this is a chance to show up for yourself—and cheer others along the way.
The day begins at Malone University and finishes at Centennial Plaza in downtown Canton. You’ll feel the energy from start to finish.
Run, Walk, or Go Virtual—Your Race, Your Way
The USATF Championship starts with elite athletes racing at 8:00 AM. Then, at 8:05 AM, it’s time for the open community run/walk. This women-only 6K welcomes every pace and every stride. You’ll earn a finisher medal and be part of a powerful crowd celebrating effort, not just speed.
Can’t attend in person? Choose the virtual option and complete your 6K on your own time. You’ll receive a shirt, bib, and medal in the mail—and you’re invited to share your photos and finish time to stay part of the celebration.



Women’s 6K Festival Hosts: From Little Loops to Big Celebrations
Next, after the award ceremony, the excitement continues with the Little Ladies Loop—a short 400-meter run for girls ages 10 and under. It’s the perfect chance for moms and daughters to run side by side and make joyful memories.
Then, keep the fun going at the finishers’ festival. Enjoy upbeat music, a lively emcee, and a marketplace of women-owned vendors. Stick around to cheer for top finishers and connect with others before the festival ends around 10:30 AM.
