The Girls on the Run 5k offers a finish line like no other! We have worked diligently to bring you a well organized, fun, and safe event, but we need your help and cooperation to ensure the event runs smoothly!

For our Runners :

• There are waves in which we will line up. The first wave is for our super speedy community supporters. NO GOTR in this wave. The second wave is for our GOTR participants, running buddies, families and all other recreational runners. The third wave is for our walkers, and stroller riding participants.

• Do not run more than 2 people side by side and stay to your right.

• Please move to the side if you need to take a pause.

• Water stations are available on the course, please move quickly through and don’t forget to throw a high five to our awesome volunteers!

• Do not stop at the finish line; keep moving through the chute towards our replenishment station.

For our Spectators :

• Do not impede the path of our runners throughout the course and at the finish. This will be strongly enforced.

• Be respectful of other spectators trying to get a glimpse of and cheer on their runner.

• Please adhere to the requests of our volunteers and police.

• Do not enter the finishers chute.

We ask that EVERYONE, runners and spectators alike, THANK OUR VOLUNTEERS!

We couldn’t run this event without them.
