The Girls on the Run 5K is open to the public and is for EVERYONE! We encourage walking, running, skipping, cartwheeling-even dancing-to move forward!

It's a 5K like no other-capes, giggle, smiles, tutus, color hairdos, cheers of encouragement and girl power abound! Everyone is free to be themselves (aka AMAZING) and complete the 5K at their own pace with their own unique style.

The Girls on the Run 5K events are the culminating celebration for near 400 girls who have complete their 10-week Girls on the Run program. In the weeks leading up to the 5k, Girls on the Run inspires girls to take charge of their lives and define the future on their terms. It's a place where girls learn that they can. No constraints. Only opportunities to be remarkable!

Community Runners:

Community runners can be anyone within our amazing community! All are welcome to join the 5k. Through your race entry, funds will fuel our Scholarship Fund empowering young girls each and every season to join our program! 

Corporate/Friends/Family Teams:

Interested in forming a team? Groups of 10 or more can form a team and receive $5 off your registration.  Email Christy at christy.thomas@girlsontherun.org to get your team set up! 

Running Buddies

All Girls on the Run Participants must have a Running Buddy during the race. A Running Buddy can be a parent, family member, or family friend. However, some girls do not know anyone that can be a Running Buddy so we look for Community Running Buddies.  We would assign you to a girl and you would complete the event by the girls side--encouraging her from start to finish! Community Running Buddies must have a background check completed and register and pay the 5K entry fee. If you are interested in becoming a Running Buddy please email Christy at christy.thomas@girlsontherun.org.
