Altra Women's Muffins and Miles
About the race
Join 1st Place Sports and Altra for Muffins & Miles, a free monthly women's community series created to bring women together through movement, friendship, and fun.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, just getting started, enjoy walking with others, or simply looking for a welcoming community, Muffins & Miles is for you. Every event is designed to help you build confidence, meet new people, and celebrate an active lifestyle in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
Each month we'll gather at a different 1st Place Sports location for a community run/walk followed by coffee, muffins, and a unique post-run experience that focuses on wellness, creativity, recovery, or connection.
