The SFRC Women's Trail Half Marathon in Northern California is scheduled for October 24 this year. The race lowers barriers to entry for women through several arrangements: four community trail runs held before the race, a 13.6-mile course, a 5.5-hour cutoff time, and a customized training plan with three online coaching sessions. The race also offers 20 childcare stipends of $250 each, menstrual products at every aid station, and a $25,000 prize purse with $10,000 for the champion. The report cites ITRA data saying women currently make up only 30% of trail running participants.
