GOTR 5K Volunteer: December 7th, 2024 Howard County
Girls on the Run Central Maryland
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Girls on the Run Central Maryland! The Girls on the Run 5K is a non-competitive event to celebrate the culmination of our Girls on the Run season. Girls 3rd through 8th grade will participate, along with their coaches, friends, family, teachers and community members. During the course of our programs, the girls learn about self-respect and healthy living while training for the 5K with the help of their incredible volunteer coaches. As girls from our counties come together to achieve their goals on 5K day, they will depend on volunteers like you to help them have a safe and inspiring experience!
