RunThrough Announces Inaugural Women's-Only Event in Partnership with StoneX: A Celebration of Women’s Running

London, UK: RunThrough, the UK's largest and Europe’s fastest growing running events company, is proud to unveil its inaugural women's-only running event, the RunThrough Women's 5 and 10k, in partnership with StoneX. Scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 26th, this event will be hosted at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the iconic venue of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in female participation in mass participation events, marking a significant shift in the landscape. Despite initial setbacks, women have emerged as the driving force behind this resurgence, surpassing male participation in 2023 and showing a positive outlook for the future. RunThrough, the UK's largest and Europe's fastest-growing running events company, acknowledges and celebrates this trend by actively promoting inclusivity and introducing women-only events to provide a supportive environment for female runners to feel encouraged to participate and enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits that running can bring.

StoneX (NASDAQ: SNEX), a global financial services network, has joined forces with RunThrough as the title partner for this event. Their support underscores their commitment to empowering and supporting women in the workplace, as part of their internal "Women in StoneX" initiatives. 

Lucy Harfield, Brand and Community at RunThrough, expressed excitement about the event, stating, "We are thrilled to bring this event to life in partnership with StoneX. As industry leaders in running events, we want to lead by example and deliver more events that celebrate and empower women through running. This event aligns perfectly with our ongoing mission to inspire an active nation and create a truly representative running community."

The RunThrough Women's 5 and 10k event aims to create an inspiring, safe, and fun environment for women to run together. Regardless of running ability, age, or background, this event offers a unique opportunity for women to come together as a community and celebrate women's running.

Rana Khatlan, Events Marketing Specialist at StoneX, amplified the shared excitement over the event, stating, “StoneX is thrilled to announce our partnership with RunThrough for their Women’s 5 and 10k runs. This event perfectly aligns with our Women of StoneX initiative, which aims to empower women, provide a supportive platform for them to thrive, and build community.”
