5K Events

Unleashing confidence through accomplishment.

Each Girls on the Run season culminates with a fun, non-competitive 5K run/walk. This is a time for participants to celebrate their amazing accomplishments with teammates, coaches, family, and friends. Come run with us, volunteer as race staff, or cheer on our girls - we guarantee you’ll be inspired!

Capital Area Girls on the Run 5K:

Each May we host the “Capital Area GOTR 5K” as the culmination of our spring season. It is a community celebration of the accomplishments of our spring participants, as well as our biggest fundraiser - providing scholarships to ensure that ALL girls can take part in our program! This year, our 3rd annual 5K will take place on Saturday, May 17, 2014 on the beautiful Milton Hershey School campus. Mark your calendar and register on our website starting in March 2014!

Jingle Bell Run/Walk 5K:

In December we partner with the Arthritis Foundation to have our fall participants complete the fun and festive “Jingle Bell 5K.” This year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 14, 2013 at TecPort. Family and friends are welcome to register under the “Girls on the Run” team!

Both of these events are family friendly and open to the public!
