Nonprofit Girls on the Run of South Central Wisconsin will host the 16th annual Girls on the Run Fall 5K presented by SSM Health on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Waunakee Village Center starting at 9 a.m.
Girls on the Run is a youth development program designed to teach life skills and inspire third–eighth grade girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through running. During the program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, peer connections, and community service while they prepare for an end-of-season 5K run.
The 5K run marks the culmination of Girls on the Run’s largest-ever fall season. Over 275 volunteer coaches are supporting more than 1,000 girls at 70 sites throughout south-central Wisconsin.
Participation in the 5K event is open to the public, and all proceeds from the family-friendly event benefit Girls on the Run of South Central Wisconsin and its mission. Online registration is open through Nov. 5. Registration and volunteer opportunities are available here.
