We are committed to empowering women through access to health and wellness.

Health Matters

A.R.C. was created to empower women of all shapes, sizes, and colors who may not otherwise have the opportunity to focus on health of the mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is to break barriers (including cultural, financial, access, etc.) to provide every woman with the opportunity to pursue her wellness goals.

What are the barriers to running?

There are many women who feel that they don't belong in the running community.
It's time for change!
Research indicates that women may feel they don't belong due to:
Race
Religion
Cultural Norms

Financial Constraints
Lack of Community
Safety Concerns
Pace
We believe that EVERY woman has a runner within.  We want to help you succeed.
