Girls On The Run Greater Boston Spring Season Celebratory 5K
The Girls On The Run Greater Boston Spring Season Celebratory 5K is a season-closing 5K held on May 30, 2026, at Boston Common (0 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02108). The event brings together over 200 teams from throughout greater Boston and gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. Every participant in the 5K receives a commemorative medal.
The event includes several registration categories: Girls Registration and Coach Registration for program members, 5K Buddy Registration, and Community Runner registration. A 5K Buddy is someone aged 16 or older who runs or walks alongside a Girls on the Run participant and is responsible for encouraging, motivating, and keeping that participant safe on the course; only one 5K Buddy may be paired with each participant. The 5K Buddy registration is listed at $35 and is open to ages 16 to 100. Community Runners are members of the public or additional participant supporters; a limited number of community bibs are available and Community Runner registration is listed at $50. Girls on the Run participants and coaches are already registered and do not need to register again. The event takes place rain or shine.
Packet pick up will be available before the 5K, with dates and times to be announced. 5K Buddies and Community Runners may pick up packets for others if communicated ahead of time, and may register at bib pick-up. Coaches may arrange team packet pick-up, and Girls on the Run participants will receive bibs from their coaches at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
