At the end of the 10-week Girls on the Run season, all of our girls in our 15 county territory will participate in Community 5k Event. This celebratory, non-competitive event is the culminating experience within the GOTR curriculum. Girls set running goals over the course of the program which helps prepare them for the final event. Completing the 5k gives the girls a tangible understanding of the confidence that comes through accomplishment as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. Crossing the finish line is a defining moment when your girl realizes that even the seemingly impossible IS possible.
This event involves nearly 1,000 in the fall and 1,400 in the spring, therefore we need lots of volunteer help!
Volunteer opportunities are typically 3-4 hours in length and start times range from 7:00am to 10:30am.
Registration to volunteer at the Fall 2018 5k will begin August 15th! For more information, visit www.GOTRcentralillinois.org/5k-event
Please note: Children under 16 can volunteer, but they must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18.
