5K Celebration: Confidence through Accomplishment
Girls on the Run Central Virginia and Blue Ridge holds a season closing celebratory 5K at Hollins University on Saturday, November 14, 2026. The event gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment and each registered participant who completes the course receives a commemorative medal.
The course distance is 5K (3.1 miles). Registration options include Early Bird, General, and Race Day pricing, and program participants and coaches have already been registered and do not need to register again. Parking is not available on the Hollins campus; participants are directed to park at the Wells Fargo Training Facility, with shuttle transportation provided to the university.
Event features listed by the council include water stations, happy hair stations, photo opportunities, merchandise for sale, and pre race activities. The event is presented as accessible: all participants may walk, run, push, or roll at their own pace, and designated parking spots are available upon request.
Safety and volunteer procedures are in place. Every participant must wear a race bib. The council monitors the course, conducts head counts, and maintains a safety plan for staff and volunteers. Volunteers appointed through the council and designated running buddies undergo background checks. Parents or guardians who wish to accompany a participant must register as runners rather than serve as running buddies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
