StrongHer Run Club

StrongHer Run Club is a women-led running community in Spokane, Washington that inspires connection, confidence, and movement. Open to all paces and experience levels, the club encourages women to walk, jog, or run together while building friendships that extend beyond the trail.

As the former Run Club CDA Lead, I helped create inclusive spaces for women to find encouragement, accountability, and belonging through time-based group runs, relay teams, and community events across the Pacific Northwest.
