The Women's 100 Miler Project Grant aims to empower a female runner by offering financial support to go towards race entry and associated travel expenses for a race that is at least 100 miles in distance. This initiative is designed to lower barriers to participation and nurture a supportive community that encourages women to pursue their 100 miler goals.

We recognize that running a 100 miler race requires not only intense preparation, but also significant financial investment. From high race registration fees to the costs of travel, these mounting expenses can be daunting and potentially discourage women from pursuing their dream race. Our grant is here to help ensure that financial hurdles don't prevent the deserving recipient from experiencing the growth and achievements that come with completing a bucket list 100-mile race.

Through this initiative, we hope to foster a growing community of female ultra-runners who not only challenge their own limits but also inspire future generations of women in the sport. By alleviating financial burdens and enhancing inclusivity, we aim to see more women at the starting lines. 

While we aspire to make this an annual award, we cannot currently commit to raising the necessary funds each year. Therefore, we will begin accepting applications for the grant as soon as we have secured $1,200 in the fund. This approach ensures we can provide meaningful support as we strive to establish a sustainable program.

Donations to the fund are greatly appreciated as they directly contribute to sustaining this grant and supporting more women in their 100 miler journeys.
