Women's Run / Walk

The Event

The Rocky Mountain Soap Company Women's Run / Walk began in 2008 to bring women of all running levels together for a safe, fun, and inclusive event. Highlights include a healthy post-race reception, well-being stations along the course, a non-competitive atmosphere, and great swag.

The Inspiration

After beginning a morning running club at our workshop, owners Cam Baty and Karina Birch recognized what a tremendous impact it had on one staff members life in particular and wanted to share that opportunity.

"I started running in June 2007, just before my 48th birthday. I could not run to the end of the street (about 100 meters) without stopping at least 3 times. This year I completed my very first half marathon. Running has become very important to me. It has helped me transform myself in body and mind. I know some people like to hear that I have lost 70lbs and gone from a size 18 jeans to a size 4 since I started running. I really like that too, but I really love the fact that my mind has grown tremendously. Running has given me so much confidence in myself. It has taught me that i can do anything that life throws at me. It has taught me that I am capable of pushing myself past what I thought my limits were both physically and mentally. It has given me a whole new outlook on life. Anyone can do it. Start walking or running and bring yourself health and happiness. I love to run and am really looking forward to the next RMSC Woman's Run."
