IX RUNNING: Celebrating the 9th Amendment for Women's Running
IX, the Roman numeral for 9, commemorates the 9th Amendment, a landmark piece of legislation that guaranteed women’s rights to participate in school sports. Born out of the historic 1972 Crazylegs Mini Marathon – the world’s first all-female road race – IX RUNNING was founded to honor the spirit of those pioneering women and to empower future generations.
At IX RUNNING, we believe every woman has the right to challenge herself. We are dedicated to providing comfortable and high-quality running gear at affordable prices, so women everywhere can enjoy the sport.
Our Mission:
Empowering Women: We support women runners by offering them the best running gear and creating a supportive community.
Fostering Creativity: We encourage women to share their creative ideas for running products and turn those ideas into reality.
Promoting Sustainability: We are committed to sustainability and offer eco-friendly running products.
Our Commitment:
Sponsorship Program: If you're a female runner in need of running gear to kickstart your journey, contact us. We offer sponsorship programs to provide you with the equipment you need.
Clean Water Initiative: For runners in areas with limited access to clean water, we offer sponsorship programs providing portable water filters.
Design Your Gear: Do you have a creative idea for a running vest, hydration pack, or other running gear? Share your design on our blog. With enough likes and shares, we'll help you patent your design and bring your product to life.
