The Women's Quarter Marathon is a "One-of-a-Kind" experience created for you, by women like you! We believe that all women should feel empowered by one another and wanted to bring you together to show you what we are capable of when we come together.
The beautiful 6.55-mile course was designed to showcase thousands of women and their individual and group strength.
A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the Houston Area Women's Center.
