Race Information

Join a 5k like none other. Besides all the usual swag like a race t-shirt and a medal, you get to experience the buzzing excitement of Girls on the Run's program participants ready to take on the challenge of completing a 5k, and for many, it’s their first!

Whether it’s your first 5k, like some of GOTR's girls, or you’ve lost count, sharing smiles and encouragement with these young runners is sure to brighten your day. AND… You can’t help but feel inspired when you see the joy on the faces of so many young girls as they cross the finish line! Runners – it’s a flat, fast, certified course. Everyone (YES, men too!) is welcome, so bring the whole family to enjoy GOTR's pre-race celebration activities and games!
