For women only

Register for the gulf south’s first major running event exclusively for women, complete with a wellness boutique and post-race party. Woman’s Hospital’s 5K, 10K and half-marathon races begin in downtown Baton Rouge Dec. 9 at 6:30 a.m. Unique to this event is the option for runners to choose the 10K or half-marathon distance, even during the event. So if training didn’t quite prepare a runner to tackle the half, she can simply turn north for the 10K course. All race proceeds benefit the hospital’s programs and services for women and infants in the community. Learn more at womanshalfmarathon.com.
