West Seattle Runner is hosting another Women's Workshop!! This is an event for women who run and walk and workout to come together to learn more about ways to support our unique health needs.
This year, we will be supporting a charity. We chose Girls on the Run! They will be at the event so you can learn more about the program, ways to volunteer, support and more. West Seattle Runner will be donating 10% of sales for the evening to Girls on the Run.
