Girls on the Run Capital Region 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run Capital Region 5K is the season closing event on November 14, 2026 at Jennings Landing in Albany, NY. The event is a non competitive, community 5K that serves as the culminating celebration for program participants and Running Buddies. Crossing the finish line awards each registered finisher a commemorative medal.
Registration opens August 10 and online registration closes November 7, with higher fees for day of registration. Early registration fees listed are Community Runner $25, 5K Buddy $25, and Youth Community Runner (under 16) $20; day of registration fees are higher. Commemorative 5K t shirts may be pre purchased through October 25 for $10. Program participants and coaches are pre registered and do not need to register again.
The event is designed to be accessible and inclusive. The course allows walking, rolling, pushing, or running and designated parking and accommodations are available. Each girl requires a registered Running Buddy aged 16 or older to accompany her on course. Pets are not permitted on the course or in start and finish areas. The event operates rain or shine; safety measures include bibs for participants and monitored course support.
Packet pickup for 5K Buddies is scheduled for November 12 at Fleet Feet, 155 Wolf Road, Albany. Volunteer roles include setup, registration, course marshals, water stations, and cheer stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
