Just as I seek out the positive aspects in my own life, I believe that every journey should end with a celebration! For girls who participate in a GOTR program at their school or community cener, the 5k celebration is something to look forward to. So, make sure to mark your calendars for May 18th at The Columbus Commons for this empowering and uplifting extravaganza!  

The 5K celebration is designed to give girls an opportunity to set and achieve a goal. Completing it provides a tangible sense of achievement and builds confidence to achieve other life goals. All Girls on the Run 5K participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, their happy pace. There will be pre-race activities, on-site registration, packet pick-up, delicious food trucks, a Kiddie "Spark" Dash, the 5k event where participants will enjoy the scenic route through downtown Columbus, and lastly GOTR Theme Gear at the "Pop-Up" Shop! Some of the pre-race activities include face painting, happy hair stations, and more.

The 5k celebration and activities support the GOTR mission to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run believes girls are born with potential, power, and purpose. The program inspires participants to know and activate that potential, not just for the length of our season but for life!

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to cheer on and celebrate all that the GOTR girls have accomplished this year. Whether you are running, walking, or supporting from the sidelines, your presence makes a difference!  Sign up today and be a part of this unforgettable day of confidence, achievement, and celebration!
