Girls on the Run Sierras 5K Celebration
This season-closing event is a celebratory 5K that gives program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. The course length is 5K (3.1 miles) and the event is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026 at University Nevada Reno, Mackay Stadium.
Everyone in the program receives a commemorative medal. Registration categories listed include Running Buddy ($30), Alumnae ($15), Sparkle Runner ($30), and Happy Sleeper ($40). All registrations include a liability waiver and Running Buddies must register and sign the event waiver.
Volunteers support the event in several roles. Course volunteers guide participants along the route. Girl Village volunteers assist participants with activities such as face painting, hair decorating, coloring running bibs, and friendship-bracelet making to create a supportive atmosphere.
The event is presented as inclusive and accessible. Participants may walk, run, push, or roll at their own pace. Designated parking spots are available and the council states the course can accommodate people with disabilities. For safety, every participant must wear a race bib, the council assigns or requires a running buddy, course monitoring and head counts are conducted, and staff and volunteers are trained under a safety plan. Pets are not allowed on the course and strollers are prohibited on the course but are permitted for spectators. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
