The Women's Business Alliance is partnering with Duluth Running Co. on their new Women's 10 Mile Walk/Run called Bridging the Gap! “Bridging the Gap” is a metaphor for the gap women face. It’s a pay gap. It’s an accessibility gap. And it’s many other gaps. The race creates an opportunity to bridge the gap.
