The Girls on the Run program combines physical activity with life skills designed to instill a sense of purpose and confidence in girls of all ages. The program culminates in the 5K GOTR. It’s not just an opportunity for the girls participating in the program to show off what they’ve learned, but also a chance for members of the community (like you) to join in and show your support.

Register for the 5K on November 19th in Sterling or November 20th in Arlington and you’ll trot alongside a diverse group of participants, including adolescent girls and their adult Buddy Runners, their coaches and family, and other members of the local community like yourself. The easy 5K courses are perfect for beginners, and you’re welcome to walk or run depending on your individual skill level and comfort. Best of all, a portion of your registration fee ($45+) goes back to the Girls on the Run Program, so by participating in the race, you’re actually helping to raise up the next generation of awesome and empowered young women!
