More Event Info

Girls on the Run teams from Rockland, Putnam and Westchester will come together for a celebratory, non-competitive 5K Glow Run.

The GOTR 5K is open to the community and welcomes all levels and abilities. Our event is NOT a race. Its a celebration of everyone's accomplishments and a perfect 5K to set a goal to work towards!

REGISTRATION

Running Buddies: Every girl needs to have a registered Running Buddy to accompany her on race day. A Running Buddy is any trusted adult 16+, who can run/walk alongside their girl and cheer her on through this day of accomplishment. A running buddy can be a parent, grandparent, uncle, teacher, family, friend, favorite babysitter - anyone 16+ your girl knows and trusts!
Community Runners: Our 5k is open to all! We invite all runners and walkers to join us for the 5k. Ask other family members, siblings and friends to join us also!
GOTR participants and coaches are automatically registered for the 5k!

All Running Buddies, parents, and friends running/walking the 5k must register.

Your race entry is not refundable. Just like a concert ticket or sporting event, your race entry is not refundable. You can transfer your entry to a friend. Thanks for understanding!
