Girls on the Run NEPA/Pocono 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run NEPA/Pocono 5K Celebration is the season closing event for program participants. The event is held at Keystone College in La Plume, PA on Sunday, November 22, rain or shine. Every program participant receives a commemorative medal.
The course is a 5K, equal to 3.1 miles, and is designed as a celebratory, noncompetitive event where participants may walk, run, push, roll, or skip at their own pace. The course is reserved for registered program participants, registered 5K Buddies, and volunteer coaches only; younger siblings and other unregistered family members may use spectator areas but may not join the course. Recreational strollers are not permitted; mobility devices needed for accessibility are welcome. Designated parking spots are available.
Registration options include 5K Buddy (ages 16 and older) and Alumni categories. Early bird registration opens at $25 with a later increase to $30; online registration closes November 8 and race day registration is available. Program participants and coaches do not need to register to participate.
Safety procedures include required race bibs, a running buddy system, course monitoring, and an event safety plan for staff and volunteers. Merchandise will be available at the event. Volunteers support event operations and are part of the event structure. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
