Nonprofit Girls on the Run of South Central Wisconsin will host the 13th Annual Girls on the Run Spring 5K presented by SSM Health on Saturday, June 1, at Verona Area High School, beginning at 9 a.m. Girls on the Run is a youth development program designed to teach critical life skills to third–eighth grade girls. During the program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections, and encourage community service while they prepare for the end-of-season run.
Girls on the Run experienced its largest-ever spring season. Over 350 volunteer coaches are supporting more than 1,240 girls at 92 sites throughout south-central Wisconsin.
Participation in the 5K event is open to the public, and all event proceeds benefit Girls on the Run of South Central Wisconsin and its mission. The event is family friendly. Online registration is open through May 30, and event day registration is available.
