Description
A Girls on the Run 5K is unlike any other running event you will experience.
From the time you arrive until the time you leave, the atmosphere is one big celebration! The girls from the Girls on the Run program, their coaches, their families and the community are all there to celebrate each girl's journey that got her to the starting line and celebrate the moment she crosses the finish line and realizes her full potential. The 5k atmosphere is filled with positive energy, squeals of joy, dancing music, "happied" hair, tears of pride, loving hearts, and a supportive community that celebrates every single moment that will bring a smile to your face and warmth in your heart. You will be so glad you joined us!
Our 5k is non-competitive so you can run, walk, skip or jog your way to the finish line and every finisher receives a finisher medal!
Participants in the 1/4 Mile Kids Fun Run will receive a Girls on the Run shirt as well!

About Girls on the Run of NW Ohio
In a typical season of Girls on the Run, girls would meet twice a week in small teams of 8-20 girls. During these sessions, we teach life skills through fun, engaging lessons that celebrate the joy of movement. The 20-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we can connect with and shape the world at large.
Over the course of the program, girls will develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society, while also working together as a true team to complete the Girls on the Run 5k Run/Walk at their own pace. Since we were not able to have an in-person season this Fall, we have decided to also not have an in-person 5k. Hence, we are offering this virtual event for you to take part in!
