Women's Safety Summit

Come walk with us. Leave a little safer.

We hear it all the time at the shop. Someone only runs with her phone in her hand. Someone else stopped going out at dawn after a scary moment in a parking lot. So on Saturday, November 7, we're opening early for our first Women's Safety Summit.

We'll start with a 1-mile walk or a 2-mile run, then come back for coffee and small bites. After that, you'll hear from people who handle safety for a living. It's free. Bring a friend.

How the morning goes

• 7:00 AM: Doors open. Grab a coffee and find your people.
• 7:30 AM: We head out for a 1-mile walk or a 2-mile run.
• 8:15 AM: Back at the shop to meet our vendors and grab a bite.
• 8:30 AM: The talks begin.
• After: Stay, shop the Head Start Sale and hang out.

Who's speaking

• Kick off and shares how this all came together.
• Officer Alex Sachs, Scottsdale Police Department, covers real cases from around the Valley and the small habits that make you a harder target.
• Cory Krebs, GM of United Defense Tactical, explains how to notice when something's off, at the trailhead, in a parking lot or anywhere else.
• Professor Erika, Gracie Barra Peoria Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, leads a short, hands-on lesson in simple self-defense. No experience needed.

Good to know

• Wear something you can move in, and bring water.
• Not a runner? Do the walk, or just come at 8:15 for the talks.
• Strollers are welcome. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian with them.
• If plans change, cancel a day or two ahead so someone else can have your spot.
