Girls on the Run Long Island 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run Long Island 5K is a season closing celebratory event held on Saturday, December 5, 2026 at Eisenhower Park. Each season ends with this 5K to give program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment.
The course is a standard 5K of 3.1 miles. The event is not a timed race; the fastest participants complete the course in about 25 minutes while most finish between 30 and 50 minutes. Every program participant receives a commemorative medal.
Program participants registered for the Fall 2026 season do not need an additional registration. Family members and community runners may register separately; registration fees vary by date: $30 through October 31, $35 from November 1 through December 4 at 5:00 PM, and $40 after that and on event day. The event is held rain or shine and no refunds are given if the event is canceled or a registrant cannot attend.
For safety, every runner must wear a race bib and is assigned a running buddy. The council monitors the course, uses cyclists to sweep after the last runner, and has an ambulance on site as required by Nassau County Parks. The course is accessible for people with disabilities and designated parking is available. Volunteers support set up and break down, registration, water stations, cheer stations, spirit runners, GOTR Village activities and refreshments. Local and national partners support the event.
