This event ties in so well with our 'Women in StoneX' movement. Both StoneX and Women's Run Series have provided opportunities for women to come together, have fun, and get fit at the same time. I'm delighted to see that the series will be expanding across the country this year, giving more women the chance to join in and help them thrive in a supportive community."
