Girls on the Run Greater Charlotte 5K Celebration
This event is a season-closing celebratory 5K that gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. The 5K is scheduled for December 12, 2026 at Red Ventures, 1423 Red Ventures Dr., Fort Mill, SC. The course length is 3.1 miles and is presented as a fun, noncompetitive event where participants may walk, run, push, or roll at their own pace.
Program participants and coaches in the Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole programs are pre-registered and do not need to register again. Program participants must have a running buddy who is at least 16 years old and accompanies them for the full course. Running buddies and community runners who register receive an event t-shirt while supplies last and a finisher medal on completion. All registered participants who finish the course receive a medal.
Logistics noted by the organizer include free parking, designated accessible parking, and that the event runs rain or shine. GOTR participants should wear MAROON program shirts and Heart & Sole participants should wear GREY program shirts. Strollers are allowed at the back of the final wave. Pets and drones are not permitted. The 5K is not chip-timed, but a clock will be available at the finish line.
Registration fees vary by date and age group, and late registration carries an additional fee. Liability waivers are required for all registrants. Volunteers support many event roles and undergo background checks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
