VOLUNTEER ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13
Come make new friends, support local runners, and help Girls on the Run! Our event volunteers make a huge impact. We need volunteers for all sorts of things from set up to tear down, water stations and so much more!
BECOME A RUNNING BUDDY
Ready. Set. Go! Lace up your sneakers, put on your gear and get ready for a 5K experience unlike any other. The excitement in the air is palpable as the girls meet their teammates, get their pictures taken, chant “Girls on the Run is so much fun” and squeeze in a final energy award before heading to the starting line. Your girl may want to hold your hand, skip, sprint or walk, and no matter what she chooses, you’ll be the support she needs along the course. And at the end, when the finish line comes into sight, you will never forget the look on her face as she crosses and realizes that, indeed, she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to do.
Running Buddies:
- Are adult women (18+) from the community that want to make a difference (note – family, teachers or other people known to the girls are NOT buddies, but are encouraged to do a standard race registration to run with their girl)
- Are encouraging and supportive during the 5K
- Are not focused on their own personal race time
- Are positive role models that encourage setting a healthy pace
- Are background checked to ensure safety of all girls
