Applications Now Open for WLP Marathon Bibs
After a one-year hiatus from our city's favorite unofficial holiday, the Marathon returns on Monday, October 11th, 2021.
As we have done in the past, Women's Lunch Place will give bibs out to runners who are excited by our mission and eager for the opportunity to participate in one of the most prestigious races in the world.
While we are looking for experienced athletes, you do not have to qualify for the Marathon to run as a member of Team WLP.
Applications for these exclusive spots are now open!
Because this is such a special race, we are looking for exceptional applicants to join the WLP team. Our ideal participants are people who are:
Strong distance runners who have completed marathons in the past
Willing fundraisers with strong personal and professional networks
Believers in WLP's values and thrilled at the opportunity to raise funds and visibility for our shelter and advocacy center
Our city’s Marathon is the oldest annual marathon and one of the most famous footraces in the world. Last year was the first since 1897 that the race was not held in person, and the organizers are looking to make a statement with its return.
If you know a marathoner who would love to participate but doesn't quite have the time needed to qualify––this is their shot. Forward them the application and (if they're unfamiliar with us) let them know why you support Women's Lunch Place.
Come October, we'll all cheer the WLP runners on together.
Who's ready to run with us?
