Each season comes to an end with a celebratory 5K. This closing event gives program participants of all abilities a tangible sense of accomplishment. Crossing the finish line instills confidence through completion and is a joyful moment program participants always remember! Everyone in our program receives a commemorative medal to celebrate this incredible achievement.

Race starts at 5:10 pm, doors open at 3:30 pm, and recommended arrival is 4:00 pm. Girls on the Run kids and running buddies will participate in their own special GOTR 5K wave hosted before the main HTC Turkey Trot events.

Volunteers help ensure our end-of-season 5K celebration is possible. We are looking for 25+ volunteers to help with setup, participant check-in, course management, water stations, finish-line support, and more. Various shift times are available.

Are their additional activities at the 5K?
Yes! As this is the highlight of the season, kids coaches and families will find plenty of ways to stay entertained including facepainting, cheer sign making, cheer stations, music, and food carts. We’ll have merchandise for sale, too!
Is there an age limit for 5K volunteers?
To volunteer at the Girls on the Run spring 5K volunteers must be 18+ OR be accompanied by an adult if younger than 18.
Our local sponsors and National Partners make crossing the finish line possible.
