Girls on the Run NYC Fall 5K

The Girls on the Run 5K is unlike any other running event in New York City. This moving 5K is a non-competitive event where hundreds of young girls will celebrate the completion of the ten week Girls on the Run season by running 3.1 miles together. We invite you to join us to celebrate health, self-esteem, and months of hard work! 

Running Buddies Needed: Lace up your sneakers and get ready for an unforgettable 5K as a running buddy for one of our program participants! Whether you skip, sprint or walk, you’ll be the support she needs along the course and will share in her joy as she crosses the finish line. 

General Volunteers Needed: Join us behind the scenes to make this a memorable event for everyone involved. Help us with day-of needs such as our Happy Hair Station, water stations along the course, and handing out medals at the finish line.  The 5K is not possible without the support of our amazing volunteers! 

General Runners - Females Only: All females are invited to run with us in this untimed, 5k fun run event!

The registration fee supports our overall program and our 5K costs, including a background check on each Running Buddy and Volunteer, and a t-shirt. All Running Buddies will receive a goody bag after the 5K.
