Women's and Girls' Jogalong

The Women's and Girls' Jogalong, organized by the YMCA of Canberra Runners, offers a relaxed atmosphere akin to a typical club morning rather than a large-scale event. It focuses on encouraging women and girls to take on a physical challenge within a friendly and social setting. Boys under 13 are welcome in the junior and mixed categories. The event features a straightforward structure: a main jog, a mixed option, and a Mini-Jog for younger children. This allows families to participate together, regardless of individual running goals. A distinctive feature is the handicap system, which shifts the emphasis from competing against others to personal improvement and the enjoyment of participation, aiming for each runner to "improve on your own personal best."
