I am a 79 year old female. Shame- no 80 division! Tufts honored top 5 and senior running clubs advocate for honoring older runners! This was my 21st and was looking forward to doing all my races next year at 80! Please consider honoring the 80 year group!

Boston 10K for Women

The Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women has its origins in 1977, when it was known as the Bonne Bell Mini Marathon. It was one of a series of 12 races for women that were held across the country. It is nowBoston 10K for Women

Although only 200 women had been expected to participate that first year, 2,231 women ran and walked the course that began and ended at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge. The first race included a series of 17 steps, an unusual feature in a foot race.

Lynn Jennings, then a high school senior, ran neck and neck with Patti Lyons (Catalano), and Lynn won the race in a time of 34:31. Lynn went on to win the race six times (1977, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993). Her history with the race also includes five second-place finishes...

The majority of the women who run are dedicated to this particular race. They have run for years with friends, daughters, mothers, sisters, and colleagues and are fully supportive of this tradition. Some of the women have gone on to run marathons, having been inspired by this 10K. Others just run the Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women every year. There are at least 18 women who have run the race every year since its inception in 1977.

Black Forest Marathon

Sunday October 12th, 2025
Braunlingen, Germany
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon · 10K
Offical Race Web Site

The Black Forest Marathon, the world's oldest nature and women's marathon, is a legend and well known far beyond the borders of Europe. Since 1968, the Black Forest Marathon always takes place on the second weekend in October.You should just have run in Braunlingen. If not because of the long-standing tradition, then because of the small Zähringer town with the many attractions in the middle of the Black Forest.

By the way, the organizer even organizes an expert tour on Saturday. The hospitality is proverbial and the specialties varied. Believe it, Maultaschen, Schwarzwälder Kirsch, and ham taste better where the cuckoo clock announces the time, just better.

Generali Munich Marathon

Sunday October 12th, 2025
Munich, Germany
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon · Marathon Relay · 10K
Offical Race Web Site

The GENERALI MUNICH MARATHON has held the elite label of the WORLD ATHLETICS since 2020 and the marathon route is officially measured and recognized.

The route runs from the Olympic Park and Schwabing to Leopoldstraße with the Siegestor, via Königsplatz and the Pinakotheken to the English Garden. From there past the Chinese Tower and Art Nouveau villas in Bogenhausen, through the east of Munich, past the Gasteig and over the Isar Bridge to the Deutsches Museum. Then it's off to the new route highlight, the Viktualienmarkt and Marienplatz! Then non-stop via the Bavarian State Opera and our residence to Odeonsplatz. The final sprint goes via the Theatinerkirche via Ludwigstraße back to the Olympic Stadium - to the Grand Final!

The goosebumps begin with the last 100 meters: in the large marathon gate, the runners immerse themselves in a scenario of fog, music, applause and loud cheers. The home straight of the Olympic Stadium are the final meters of the GMM 2022. Got it! That's what they say in Bavaria.

BY THE WAY: The course record of 2:09:46 has not been broken for 20 years. DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE?
