5K Event
In the spring of 2010, more than 500 girls will participate in our 5k run/walk to celebrate completion of their Girls on the Run training program. The New Balance Girls on the Run 5K is the culmination of the Berrien program. The run/walk will be held this year on Thursday, May 27th at 6:30, beginning and ending at Memorial Field on the Campus of Buchanan High School. There will be a short program beforehand that will start at 5:45 p.m.
The girls celebrate their successes, affirm the lessons they have learned, and share their enthusiasm for running and healthy living with members of the public. Every girl is number 1, and every runner is a winner. Come, run with the girls and provide support and positive energy!
We need volunteers to fill a variety of roles from parking to registration to clean up. Volunteer needs will be posted here as the event date nears.
Community members are encouraged to sign up to run or walk with the girls. Registration will be available here in early 2010.NOTE: All ages are welcome to register as community runners/walkers, however, for safety reasons no strollers, in-line skates, bicycles or pets are allowed on the course.
Final early registration in person and packet pick up will be at Taylor’d Running on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 from 10 am - 8 pm. Get your t-shirt, race bib and other information at Taylor’d Running located at 1501 Niles Avenue, St. Joseph. Packets also can be picked up on the day of the 5k event.
