True

The course for a 5K is 3.1 miles. 

As a reminder, this is a fun, celebratory event for our participants and not a competitive race. While our fastest 5K participants will complete the course in 25 minutes, most cross the finish line in 30-50 minutes. Everyone who participates is encouraged to walk, roll, push, run or skip at their happy pace!

First, we understand that life happens, and circumstance might make it impossible to attend.

 

We strongly encourage that all participants attend and complete the 5K, as it is the goal that teams are preparing for all season long! It’s the ultimate opportunity to build confidence through accomplishment. Remember, this is the first 5K event for many – including coaches, participants, friends and family members. We are in it together!

Our 5K is a closed course and only registered participants will be allowed. For safety reasons, every participant must wear a race bib (provided by the council). 

To ensure every participant crosses the finish line, we monitor the course and conduct head counts. Our council has a safety plan in place, which trains staff and volunteers on how to respond during an emergency or incident.

Yes. Girls on the Run 5K events are for everyone! All participants can walk, run, push or roll safely and at their own happy pace. Our 5K course is on paved roads and sidewalks. Designated parking spots are available.

Yes! This is encouraged! This is a great way to accomplish a goal together. You will need to register for the 5K.

Absolutely! Every registered participant who completes the 5K will receive a medal. Our amazing volunteers receive a GOTR shirt. 

Yes! Family, friends and community members outside of our program can participate in the event, but must register.

Yes. All 5K registration forms include liability waivers.

Yes! As this is the highlight of the season, there will be activities in the Fun Zone, sponsor booths and more! Of course, we’ll have merchandise for sale, too! Be sure to arrive at the 5K early so you have time to take in all the fun before the run begins.
