Girls on the Run New Orleans 5K Celebration
The Girls on the Run New Orleans 5K is the seasonal closing event for the Fall 2026 program. The event is a celebratory 5K (3.1 miles) that gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment and marks the end of the season. It takes place on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at The Shrine on Airline, 6000 Airline Dr., Metairie, LA 70003.
The event is open to community runners and walkers. Community runners and running buddies are timed with chipped race bibs. Program participants, one adult running buddy, and coaches are already registered through the council and do not need separate registration. Registration pricing for nonprogram participants is tiered: early bird through October 31 is $35, general online registration from November 1 to November 20 is $40, and day of registration in person on November 21 is $45. All registrants must sign a liability waiver.
Safety and accessibility measures are in place. Every participant must wear a race bib, each participant is assigned a running buddy, and the council monitors the course and conducts head counts. The course is accessible for people with disabilities and designated parking is available. Every registered participant who completes the 5K receives a medal; program participants receive a commemorative medal.
Volunteer roles support event operations and include setup and teardown, registration, course monitoring, running buddies, water stations, cheer stations, and face painting or happy hair stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
