Girls On The Run 5K

GIRLS ON THE RUN IS A PHYSICAL-activity based, positive youth development program for GIRLS IN 3RD THROUGH 8TH GRADES THAT PROVIDES SOCIAL-emotional learning through a  curriculum that creatively integrates running. St. Louis participants come from 23 counties across eastern Missouri and western Illinois and their season culminates in a 5k experience.We strive to make the program accessible for all girls by offering scholarships to participants whose families may not be able to cover the full cost of registration. In a typical year, more than 90% of girls receive full or partial scholarships totaling nearly $500,000. Thank you for your support! Each season comes to an end with a celebratory 5K. This closing event gives program participants of all abilities a tangible sense of accomplishment. Crossing the finish line instills confidence through completion and is a joyful moment program participants always remember! Everyone in our program receives a commemorative medal to celebrate this incredible achievement. COURSE INFO: Our 5K course will start and end at Ballpark Village. There will be one start time this season - 8:00 AM. To keep the course less crowded, we will start groups of teams and community runners on a staggered release, with a few minutes between each start. Look for volunteers in bright pink and yellow shirts who will release each group across the start line! COST: January 23 - April 30: $30 May 1 - 9: $35 May 10: Day-of registration: $40 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER [https://runsignup.com/Race/MO/SaintLouis/GirlsontheRunSTL5K]
