    This race is my all time favorite because all about women, women empowerment, and loving yourself! They recognize life isn’t always perfect and it can be a struggle, but we are out there getting it anyways and that’s what makes us strong! The motivation and vibe is the best I have ever experienced. They pump you up before the race, and there are tons of motivation and sassy quotes and signs at the start, through out the race, and at the race finish! You will feel like a NEW and AMAZING woman after you finish this race that is forsure!
    Just note, at the end, the 5k and 10k walkers/ runners merge together and for the runners, it is difficult to get through all the walkers. I know they are making efforts to work on this. This year they added a “competitive start” which allowed you to start 15 minutes early, and hopefully avoid some of the congestion.

    This was my 5th year running this race, after last year I was debating if I would do the race again (last year was very disorganized, not well planned out, and felt to crowded), but so glad I decided to run it again this year. This year was well organized, well marked and overall a fun event. The event had about 6000 runner/walkers and it never really seemed like it was that crowded. Beautiful course, great for all running or walking abilities.

    I love this race, its for a good cause, and love supporting women being active. Beautiful course along West Cliff. Normally this race is well organized, the 2016 race seemed a bit disorganized. Porta-pottie lines that went into the corral waiting areas, corrals not well marked, not good parking, course not as well marked as in the past. Hoping that 2017 will be better. I look forward to this race every year, always a lot of fun!

    This run was beautiful. For the majority of the race you are running along the cliffs of Santa Cruz with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. The only negative was the shirt pick up. The shirts ran small and they were allowing people to select their sizes at the pick up. Unfortunately, for many slower runners, by the time they finished the sizes they ordered where no longer available, because people trade in the shirt they preordered when registering for a larger shirt. That was the only negative. Everything else about this run was top notch.
