International Women's Day Endurance Celebration

International Women's Day Endurance Celebration

Beaverdam Reservoir Park | March 8 | Starts at 8:00 AM

To celebrate International Women’s Day, I’m hosting an Endurance Celebration—a choose-your-own-challenge day centered on movement, support, and showing up exactly as you are. Beaverdam Reservoir features a 7.5-mile loop with roughly 300 feet of elevation gain, circling Beaverdam Creek. The course is beautifully varied: a mix of fire road and singletrack, more rugged forest trail on one side, and more developed sections with boardwalks on the other. It’s approachable, interesting, and perfect for settling into a rhythm. We’ll begin together at 8:00 AM, and for anyone who wants to do multiple loops , there will be support available all the way until sunset. The goal isn’t speed or comparison—it’s choice. This day is for you if:

• You’ve been nervous to try a bit more distance
• You want to test new gear or nutrition
• You’re returning after injury, rehab, or a long break
• You want a safe, supportive environment to see what your body can do
• You simply want to support other women

You’ll have course support, including:

• Snacks & electrolytes
• Water
• Basic first aid supplies (bandages, moleskin, etc.)

This is a free event. This event centers women, but men are welcome to volunteer as course support—I’ll need a few helping hands. If you would like to support or partner with this event, I’d love to hear from you (especially if you’re a women-owned business or a nonprofit that serves women).

Important notes: Participants are responsible for their own risk. If winter weather is possible, I’ll scout the course the week prior to confirm conditions and ensure we’re good to go.
