Girls on the Run Greater Charlotte - Spring 2022 5K Registration

GET YOUR CHEER GEAR, NOISEMAKERS, AND SPIRIT FINGERS READY! A Girls on the Run 5K is unlike any other event, as everyone who has attended one knows. It's a celebration of and for the girls who have finished the Girls on the Run or Heart & Sole program's 8-week season. Their enthusiasm is so unbridled on the day of the 5K that they are sprinting around before the race. As the girls dance to warm-up music, get their hair "happied," and assemble with their teammates to join hands as they head to the starting line, positive energy abounds. Our 5K is a non-competitive event that will make you smile, and you will be glad you joined us to see this celebration of the infinite potential of our Charlotte GOTR girls!

All runners and walkers are welcome to participate in the 5K, which includes a t-shirt and a finisher's medal. Early bird registration ends on Thursday, March 31st, so don't miss out on your chance to register for the race at the lowest price!

At check-out, early bird savings and online registration fees will be applied automatically!

Please keep in mind that 5k t-shirts are limited in quantity and are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
