April 2026 Newsletter

We are excited to review April of 2026 in the Girls on the Run Northeast Wisconsin newsletter!

Whether you’re a caregiver, coach, volunteer, or friend of Girls on the Run, we want you to feel informed and inspired as part of this movement. Thank you for helping us empower every girl to recognize her limitless potential.

From Spring Season 5K and looking ahead to the fall—celebrate the milestones with us this month!

Spring Season 5K

The finish line is almost here — and it's going to be unforgettable.

IT'S OFFICIAL! Our Spring 5K is less than 2 weeks away and we could not be more excited for what's in store on May 9th at the Ariens Nordic Center in Brillion, WI.

Members of the Girls on the Run of Northeast Wisconsin team recently had the chance to visit the venue — and we're still talking about it. The Ariens Nordic Center is simply stunning. Wide open space, a beautiful natural setting, and a course that feels like it was made for a celebration of this magnitude. It's a step up in every way, and we knew the moment we arrived: our girls are going to love this.

This 5K has always been more than a "race". It's the moment every girl on our team has been working toward all season. It's where all those laps, lessons, and team agreements come together in one powerful finish line moment. And this year, they'll cross that finish line in a place that matches the magnitude of what they've accomplished.

Whether you're running alongside a girl as her Buddy, cheering from the sidelines, or lacing up as a community participant, we want you there. Come celebrate with us!

Saturday, May 9th | Ariens Nordic Center | Brillion, WI
Registration is open until May 6 — don't miss your spot.
