DeSales 5K Celebration : Girls on the Run Lehigh Valley & Pocono
The event is a season-closing, celebratory 5K that gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. It is held on Sunday, December 6th at DeSales University, 2755 Station Avenue, Center Valley, PA 18034. The 5K distance is 3.1 miles.
The event is organized for registered program participants, registered 5K buddies, and volunteer coaches; younger siblings and unregistered family members may attend as spectators only. Recreational strollers are not permitted on the course, while mobility devices needed for accessibility are welcome. Service dogs are permitted; other dogs are not allowed.
Every program participant receives a commemorative medal. Participants must wear a race bib provided by the council. The council pairs almost every participant with a running buddy and monitors the course; a safety plan trains staff and volunteers to respond to incidents.
Registration options described include categories for 5K Buddies (ages 16 and older) and Alumni, with an early registration price of $25 that increases to $30; online registration closes on 11/22 and race day registration is available. Program participants and coaches do not need to register to participate.
Merchandise will be sold at a council booth. Volunteers support setup, registration, course marshaling, running buddies, water and cheer stations, and finish line refreshment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
