From the Organizer
Women Xpanding Limits is a women’s fitness and wellness festival created to help women and girls step outside their comfort zones, discover what they are capable of and build confidence through courageous action.
Your registration on this page is for the Women’s 1-Miler or 5K, but the experience goes far beyond the race course. Women of all ages, fitness levels and backgrounds can challenge themselves through multiple competitions throughout the day, including:

No matter which event you choose, you will be surrounded by women who are showing up, trying something hard and choosing courage over comfort.
Women Xpanding Limits is proud to partner with Susan G. Komen to help create a future without breast cancer.
A portion of every athlete registration will be donated to Susan G. Komen to support its work in breast cancer research, patient care, advocacy and community programs. Together, we are working toward our goal of raising more than $5,000 and helping breast cancer survivors participate in the festival at no cost.
During registration, you will also have the opportunity to help sponsor a survivor athlete. Your contribution can give a woman impacted by breast cancer the opportunity to courageously step onto the starting line or competition floor, surrounded by a community cheering her on.
Because at Women Xpanding Limits, strength is not only measured by how fast we run or how much we lift—it is measured by how we use our strength to lift others.
The experience does not end at the finish line. Spend the day connecting with an encouraging community, exploring the vendor and wellness areas, supporting athletes across every competition and celebrating everything you accomplished.
Then, stay for an unforgettable fall evening featuring:
Every registered athlete will receive a custom finisher medal, athlete bag, race bib where applicable, and access to the full day of competition, inspiration and celebration.
Whether this is your first event or your next big challenge, there is a place for you at Women Xpanding Limits.
Come challenge yourself, support an important mission and leave believing you are capable of more than you ever imagined.
Your finish line becomes hope for someone else’s journey.
