Yes! As this is the highlight of the season, there will be a celebration village of booths and more! Of course, we’ll have merchandise for sale, too!

We will be hosting an OPTIONAL drive-thru packet pick up located at our Girls on the Run Western Colorado Office May 2nd, the night before the 5K celebration! This packet pick up is for registered community participants who want to pick up their packet early. There will still be a day of packet pick up at the 5K celebration. 

The drive thru packet pick up will be similar to a drop off/pick up system at school, you will follow the designated route and get your packet without ever having to leave your vehicle! 

• When: Friday, May 2nd
• Where: 554 25 RD Unit
• Time: 5:30PM-7:30PM

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.

Absolutely! Every registered participant who completes the 5K will receive a medal and GOTR Western Colorado swag!

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!

The course for a 5K is 3.1 miles. 

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!

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. Designated parking spots are available.

For safety reasons, every participant must wear a race bib (provided by the council). Our council ensures every participant has a running buddy, and only critical 5K volunteers have access to confidential information.

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! Our Council is selling merchandise to support our program! Be sure to look for our merchandise booth/tent to commemorate this memorable event.
