5K Volunteers

Each Girls on the Run season ends with a 5K event that provides a tangible sense of accomplishment to participants. While our fall season ends with culminating site based 5K events, each spring season we host our community wide 5K event. To celebrate and make the experience one to remember, there are many opportunities to get involved.
