In the early 2000's, River City Races, at the time Fleet Feet Racing, hosted two women's only 5k races, the Go Red for Women 5k to raise money and awareness for the American Heart Association and the Stop the Violence 5k to raise money for the Center for Women and Families and domestic violence awareness.

Both races were held down at Louisville Slugger Field and had to be put on hiatus once construction of the new I-65 bridge began. Maybe it's time to bring an all women's race back to Louisville!
