What is the Ambassador Team?
The GRM Ambassador Team is a group of women representing the power and potential of female leadership through running and community service. As an ambassador, you’ll gain access to exclusive training, workshops, and events while fostering connection, empowerment, and growth alongside other female athletes.
The Ambassador Team is for every female-identifying adult, regardless of your speed and training distance. We want to make running/walking accessible to all bodies and interests and are here to make that happen. If you’re feeling intimidated, read on; it’s for you, promise.
Sign up and become part of a movement that’s about more than just running—it’s about empowerment, connection, and leadership. Let’s hit the trails together!
To ensure your preferred size of team shirt, you must register by March 15th.
