The Girls on the Run 5K is the triumphant culmination of a life-changing, ten-week program designed to inspire girls of all abilities to recognize and embrace their inner strength. This celebratory event is unlike any other race, focusing on community, inclusion, and the emotional and physical empowerment of young girls. Participants, coaches, families, and community members come together to run, walk, and cheer, transforming the course into a vibrant sea of encouragement, positivity, and shared achievement.

Founded in 1996, Girls on the Run International is a nonprofit that has served 2 million + girls across North America.
