Saturnalia 2024 Gender Split

I haven’t done one of those in a while and thought I might as well toot my own horn. This Rock Candy Running race is happening this weekend in my hometown Olympia Washington.

It’s a small, festive, holiday-inspired 10K on trails through our City’s Squaxin Park. Last year we had just 50 finishers, this year we have 83 people signed up. Of those, 49 are women or 59% of the overall runners. And for the first time we have a nonbinary runner, my own kid, at the starting line. Swoon!

Super proud of this. I love creating real community. One that’s welcoming, inclusive and diverse. More of this, please.
