5K Celebration: Confidence through Accomplishment
Girls on the Run Central Indiana holds a season-ending celebratory 5K on November 14, 2026 at Franklin Community High School, 2600 Cumberland Dr, Franklin, IN 46131. The event is a 5K course (3.1 miles) organized as a non-competitive, culminating experience for program participants and community members.
The council describes the 5K as a closing event that gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. Every registered participant who completes the course receives a commemorative medal. The event format allows participants to walk, run, roll, push or skip at their own pace; typical finish times noted by the council range from about 25 minutes for the fastest participants to 30–50 minutes for most finishers.
Safety and accessibility are addressed: all participants must wear a race bib, a running buddy is assigned to participants, course monitoring and head counts are conducted, and a safety plan guides staff and volunteers. The council states the 5K is accessible for people with disabilities and that designated parking is available.
Non-program adults paid registration during the listed advance period; program participants and coaches were pre-registered by the council. Free parking is available in multiple locations around the school. Volunteers support event logistics including set-up and tear down, registration, course marshals, running buddies, water and cheer stations, and activity stations such as face painting.
