The Heraea was an ancient Greek festival in which young girls competed in a footrace, possibly as a puberty or pre-nuptial initiation ritual. The race was held every four years at Olympia . The games were organised by a group of sixteen women, who were also responsible for weaving a peplos for Hera and arranging choral dances.
