5K Celebration
Girls on the Run New Jersey North holds an end of season 5K celebration for program participants and community runners. The event is scheduled for November 15, 2026, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ. The 5K is a 3.1 mile course and is presented as a noncompetitive, celebratory event that emphasizes completion and confidence.
All girls in the program who complete the 5K receive a commemorative medal. Registered participants who finish may receive a t shirt while supplies last. Program participants are already registered through the council and do not need additional registration. Community members and family can also register to participate separately. Registration pricing is layered by date: $35 pre-registration until 10/10, $38 from 10/10 to 11/11, and $40 from 11/11 through same day registration.
The council outlines several safety and accessibility measures. Every participant must wear a race bib, and each participant is paired with a running buddy for the duration of the course. The course is monitored with head counts and a safety plan; designated parking is available and the course accommodates participants who walk, run, push, or roll. Volunteers support set up, registration, course marshals, running buddy roles, water and cheer stations, and activity stations such as happy hair or face painting. Volunteers appointed through the council will undergo a background check. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
