About the Girls on the Run 5K
This is the end-of-season celebration for a Girls on the Run program, and the feel of the event reflects that. The crowd is mostly young participants finishing their season alongside family, coaches, and community runners who join in to cheer them on. The finish line carries real weight for the girls crossing it.
The race is held at Principal Park, with a fun zone open before the start. Packet pickup runs across the two days before the event at the Wellmark YMCA, with a morning window on race day as well.
