Girls on the Run Greater Richmond 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run Greater Richmond 5K is a season closing event that gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. The course distance is 5K (3.1 miles) and events take place at Bryan Park, with some teams holding site based 5Ks at their practice location. Colonial Heights schools will hold a site based 5K on November 14, 2026.
Registration pricing is listed in two windows: August 12 to October 1 at $30 which includes a T-shirt, and October 2 to November 18 at $30. Girls on the Run participants and coaches are automatically registered and do not need to re register; community members and 5K buddies must register, and T shirt availability for non participant registrants depends on meeting the October 1 deadline. All registrations include a liability waiver.
The event includes festival style elements and family oriented activities such as face painting, happy hair stations, water stations and merchandise for sale. Every registered participant who completes the course receives a bib and a medal or other token of completion. Events are intended to be accessible; participants may walk, run, push or roll, and designated accessible parking is available. Safety measures include required race bibs, assigned running buddies, monitored course head counts and a safety plan for staff and volunteers. Volunteers support set up, course marshaling, water stops and other roles. National and local partners support the 5K, including Adidas, Gamma Phi Beta and Fleet Feet among others.
