Girls on the Run plans regional 5K celebrations
Girls on the Run programs in several regions are concluding their fall seasons with public 5K celebrations, bringing participants, families and community members together to mark the girls’ accomplishments. Events are scheduled for Nov. 14 in Upstate South Carolina, Western Massachusetts and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Nov. 21 in Salisbury, North Carolina. The nonprofit’s programs pair physical activity with lessons intended to build girls’ confidence, healthy relationships and life skills; the noncompetitive 5Ks give participants a chance to reach a goal with community support. Western Massachusetts expects about 2,000 people, including participants and volunteer 5K buddies, while the Wyoming event welcomes community runners and awards participants commemorative medals.
