Manchester 5K Celebration : Confidence through accomplishment
The Girls on the Run Vermont Manchester 5K is a seasonal closing event held on Sunday, June 6, 2027, at Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park. The event is a celebratory 5K course of 3.1 miles where program participants and their Running Buddies complete the distance at their own pace. Every registered participant who completes the course receives a commemorative medal.
Program participants and coaches are pre-registered and do not need to register. Family members, friends, or community members must register as Running Buddies to participate. Listed registration fees include an Adult Running Buddy rate of $25 for pre-registration and $35 for day-of registration, and a Youth Running Buddy rate of $10; GOTRVT program alumni registration is $10. All registrations include liability waivers.
The event program typically includes face painting, water stations, happy hair stations, and merchandise for sale. Accessibility measures are available: designated parking is provided and an accessible route can be created for participants with disabilities. Participants may walk, roll, push, run, or skip at their preferred pace. For safety, participants must wear a race bib, course sweepers follow the last participant, and staff and volunteers are trained as part of the event safety plan. Dogs may be in the park but must be kept off the 5K course and follow park rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
