Before taking on the SHAPE Women’s Half-Marathon on April 30, join us for a panel discussion on female leadership, mentorship, and the importance of fitting exercise into a busy schedule. Participants include:

• Candice Huffine, model and founder of Project Start
• Rachel Pratt, New York Road Runners Senior Vice President of Youth & Community Services
• Tolli Love, Vice President, Fundraising & Marketing of CARE
• Jessamyn Stanley, yoga teacher, author of Every Body Yoga, body positivity advocate, and Motrin spokesperson
• Jen Widerstrom, The Biggest Loser trainer
• Jenny Gaither, Founder & CEO of Movemeant Foundation
• Moderator: Amanda Wolfe, Digital Director, SHAPE

These women are all honorees taking part in the second-annual Women Run the World Relay and Mentorship Program at the SHAPE Women’s Half-Marathon. The program highlights the importance of supporting, inspiring, and empowering the next generation of women. On race day, honorees will be paired with a mentee from New York Road Runners' Run for the Future program, which trains New York City high school girls to run their first 5K race, build and strengthen self-confidence, and earn money for college. Each pair will run or walk a one-mile leg of the course as part of the relay team.
