Registration open for in-person 2021 Happy Girls Runs
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- If you’re looking for a little kick-start to fitness while connecting with thousands of women in a supportive running environment, look no further than the Happy Girls Runs, which offer 5K, 10K, and half marathon races in three beautiful Pacific Northwest locations.
All races are offered live and in-person for the 2021 season.
After recently hosting two live races in 2020, at a time when most event companies only offered virtual runs, Lay It Out Events has become a name that is synonymous with safe running events in the era of COVID-19.
With overwhelmingly positive reviews of the Happy Girls Sisters 2020 in-person race and solid support from the community, we are excited to offer an entire line-up of in-person races for 2021.
Now more than ever, athletes and fitness enthusiasts are looking for ways to stay motivated and healthy during these difficult times. Happy Girls offers the perfect avenue for attaining fitness goals, while adhering to strict protocols for social distancing and safe practices in healthy outdoor environments.
Happy Girls is all about embracing every woman’s fitness level as a way to support individual goals while bringing diverse groups of women together.
