Girls on the Run Fall 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run Fall 5K Celebration is scheduled for November 14, 2026 at Wright State University near Lot 17 in Fairborn, Ohio. The event is presented by Dayton Children's Hospital and made possible by Up and Running. Parking is available in Lot 17 with overflow in Lots 13, 14, 15, and 16.
The event accompanies the Girls on the Run program, which uses an experience based curriculum that integrates running to promote joy, health, and confidence in girls. Participants traditionally run alongside an adult Running Buddy, who provides one on one support and encouragement during the course.
Two event options are listed:
- 3.1 Miles 5K Run
- 0.5 Miles Fun Run, half mile not timed
The half mile Fun Run starts and finishes at the same line as the 5K and is intended as an option for younger participants and friends; it will not be officially timed but a clock will be available for participants to view their time. A 5K give away will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Registration details include an early bird fee and a later fee. The early bird fee of $35 applies through November 7; the fee increases to $40 for registrations from November 8 through November 14. Individual registration opening and closing dates are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
