SHE Power 10K & 5K in Chandler

SHE Power brings an all-female running event to the heart of Downtown Chandler. Produced by 131 Event Productions, it is the largest all-female race in Arizona. The 2026 event pairs a 5K with a 10K, plus a race-day atmosphere that empowers women of all ages and abilities and keeps the focus on confidence, community, and forward motion.

Race Details & What to Expect

Plan for race weekend on Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25, 2026. Packet pickup and the SHE Power open house run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday in the ballroom of the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Chandler. On Sunday, packet pickup takes place from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. at the starting area at Downtown Chandler Stage Park, then the 10K and 5K begin at 8 a.m. in pace-based waves. The course closes at 10 a.m., and the event lists a minimum 10K pace of 19.5 minutes per mile.

New this year, both courses are USATF-certified. Expect water stops that offer water and Gatorade, plus a limited number of portable restrooms. After crossing the finish line, you’ll receive a stunning custom finisher medal, cake, and a long-stem rose. SHE Power also provides free professional race photos and a post-race celebration.

To register, visit the official SHE Power event website, which also features the current entry options, course links, and the full schedule.

Highlights & Tips for Runners

If you chase a finish-line moment that feels personal, this event delivers. Aim for an award: SHE Power recognizes the top three women overall in both races and also awards a commemorative SHE Power ceramic tile to the top three runners across multiple age groups (from 18 and under through 70+). If you’re running your first 10K or looking to topple your current record, you can treat the course-close time and pace requirement as a clear pacing target.

Race-day basics stay simple. Arrive early enough to park, pick up your packet, complete your pre-race routine, and line up in the correct wave. Don’t forget the fuel that works for you, since the event asks participants with additional nutrition needs to bring preferred items.

Hotels & Dining for Race Weekend

Stay close to the starting line. The Hilton Garden Inn, where pre-race packets are available Saturday, is conveniently located downtown. The Crowne Plaza Phoenix-Chandler Golf Resort is another comfortable option.

For race-fuel meals, keep your plans downtown so you can walk, eat, and keep the day uncomplicated. Over Easy opens early and offers breakfast options that fit a pre-race meal window. Downtown Chandler Cafe and Bakery is another quick breakfast stop close to the event. After finishing, celebrate at The Perch Brewery or SanTan Brewing Company. Both of these local favorites are perfect for a relaxed meal and a drink.

Make the most of your weekend and join the excitement; come cheer on or run in the SHE Power and experience Chandler at its best!
