Girls on the Run "So Much Fun"

5K Celebration

Girls on the Run Greater Tampa Bay holds a season-closing celebratory 5K at Al Lopez Park on November 21, 2026. The event serves as the culminating celebration for girls who completed the eight week Girls on the Run or Heart & Sole program and gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment.

Every registered participant who completes the 5K receives a commemorative medal and an event t shirt. The event is open to the public; family, friends and community members may also participate but must register. Program participants and coaches are already registered through their teams and do not need to complete additional registration.

Practical details for community participants include packet pick up at the park the evening before the event or on race day. Strollers are permitted on the course and children ages four and younger do not need to register. Pets are not allowed in Celebration Village or on the course. A Running Buddy is an individual 16 years or older who completes the 5K alongside a program participant. Volunteers and Sparkler volunteers support the course and may be required to have cleared background checks.

The event includes warm up activities, water stations, a Happy Hair station, a Bling Your Bib station and merchandise for sale. Spirit Signs are available for purchase as 24 x 16 signs displayed along the course to support the scholarship fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
