Women of all ages are invited to The Dirt Inspires Women's Trail Half Marathon on Sunday at Nisene Marks National Park.
The all-women event, created by Terri Schneider and Penni Bengtson to encourage women to participate in trail running, is the first of its kind.
The event is the only "Go Green" event in the area, as it promotes car pooling and requires all runners to carry their own water bottles. Participants are also encouraged to donate used shoes to Soles4Souls.org.
Prize money will be offered to open, masters, and grand masters' division winners. Schneider is also offering a free "Trail Running is for Everyone" clinic at Fleet Feet in Aptos and an 8-week training program that can be purchased with an entry fee.
