Imagine having oestrogen-pumping music blaring from the speakers, as you and your closest girlfriends take part in a charity run in matching pink costumes.That promises to be the scene at next month’s first ever all-women relay in Dockyard.The You Go Girl event, organised by Christine DeSilva, is trying to appeal to a cross-section of athletes — from hard-core walkers to novice runners.Funds raised at the July 15 event will be donated to the Women's Resource Centre for its 25th anniversary.Mrs DeSilva said there was only one other all-female event on the Bermuda calendar — the annual PartnerRe 5k. That event has been extremely successful and attracts upwards of 900 women each year but there’s a need for similar events that promote female bonding, she said.You Go Girl will see women race in teams of three. One will run the whole six-kilometre course, a second will join in for four kilometres and the third will do the last two kilometres. All three team mates will finish around the same time.Mrs DeSilva said the relay style makes the race accessible to everyone, despite their age or athletic ability.“I wanted to appeal to the women runners in Bermuda because they race longer distances, but I also wanted to appeal to those women who were reticent about coming forward and being involved in a competitive race.“So the format of 6km, 4km and 2km came to mind. I thought it would be a rather neat way to get everyone involved.”She came up with the idea in February, got sponsors the Oil Group of Companies on board, then learned about the WRC’s fundraising efforts. Mrs DeSilva said as one of the Island’s few all-women charities, the WRC just seemed a “good fit” for the new race.Organiser Natalie Dyrli of The Weekenders running group has taken part in scores of races locally and overseas. She said the event would be a really great opportunity for females to have fun and embrace their womanhood.“I have made an all-female playlist with everything from Cindy Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ to Shania Twain’s ‘I Feel Like A Woman’ and Whitney Houston’s ‘I’m Every Woman’.“So we are going to play really oestrogen-pumping music over the speakers so that it creates a whole atmosphere for the event. Music always creates an event.”Ms Dyrli will also be taking part in the relay. She and her teammates from Flatts Fitness will wear matching costumes.“It’s great that it’s all women, because this is really an opportunity to bond a little more than other races that are an individual thing.“This is about embracing your womanhood and having a chance to be girlie and athletic at the same time.”According to Mrs DeSilva, each lap of the course is about 2km and should take runners around ten to 12 minutes. She said the course was also “absolutely flat” and picturesque.She said there were obvious health benefits in taking part in such an event.“I think in today’s environment where we are hearing all the time about obesity and everyone trying to be health-conscious, it’s just so important to get out and do something.“And if you can do it in a non threatening way like this, you are going to be encouraged by the other team members and still feel like you accomplished something.”The West End Development Corporation has allowed the runners to use the course until 10.30am and encourages participants to spend the rest of the day enjoying Dockyard.Race participants will be given free entry to Snorkel Park, 20 percent off meals at Frog and Onion and purple bracelets or sunglasses with the event logo on it. There will also be prizes on offer for winning race teams and for those that raise the most money for the WRC.If the great music, prizes and girlie atmosphere aren’t enough to get you signed up, Mrs DeSilva said women should just come out in support of the great cause.“I was a teacher for many years and have come in contact with women that have had to ask [the WRC] for help.“Often people don’t know how to support other women, but this is one way for them to be able to support others in the community.”Registration costs $25 per person for competitive runners, $5 for juniors and $15 for non-competitive runners.
