Join Our Sponsors to Celebrate 10 Years of Women Emerging!

Ten years ago, Emerge Oregon was founded to change the narrative from one in which women weren’t being asked to run – to one where women are actively recruited, trained and inspired to run.

We’ve achieved that and more – and we thank all of you who have been with us along the way!

Join us, our board of directors, alumnae and the sponsors below to celebrate the last ten years and build toward the next ten!
