Girls Running in Trails is holding a national series of races focused on the celebration of women in trail running. The events will be held starting on the month of March, in time for the International Women’s Month and will take place in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Last year, the race series was true to the 2024 International Women’s Day theme – Inspire Inclusion where we were able to open a playing field for women by women in Baguio, Cebu, and Koronadal. This year, we continue to align our goals with the IWD theme with 2025 being the year that we Accelerate Action.
Girls Running in Trails aims to support women who have the potential to excel in the sport but have limited means. The series race will raise funds in order to support programs at the grass roots: lady mountain guides, women in mountain communities, etc. We believe there are talents waiting to be discovered, and we start by evening out the playing field and then supplementing the progress of potential athletes.
This year, we move forward from inspiring inclusion to taking and accelerating action in support of Girls Running in Trails.
