Each Spring 2013 GOTR participant must be accompanied by a running buddy - her personal cheerleader during the 5K run/walk! Running buddies can be male or female.

Parents/guardians who wish to assign a running buddy for their daughter or loved one: Please have the individual register for the race by April 15th at https://www.elleevance.com/beventLive.aspx?EventID=NBI80473720 . Parent/guardian-assigned running buddies must be 16 or older on race day. During registration, they should choose the assigned running buddy option and input the girl’s name and school.

Parents/guardians who need a running buddy for their daughter or loved one: Please speak with your coaches first and see if they can help find a match. After giving your permission, please have the individual register for the race at the link above. Any girls who do not have a running buddy registered for the race by April 15th will be placed with a GOTR volunteer.

I want to be a running buddy, but I have not been assigned to a GOTR participant. What should I do? Please register for the race as a non-buddy using the link above. Then complete our Volunteer Application so we know you are interested. Council-assigned running buddies must be 18 or older on race day and must pass a background check. We will reach out to you if we have a girl who needs a running buddy.
