5K Celebration - Confidence through Accomplishment
Girls on the Run Western Montana holds a seasonal closing 5K that concludes the program. The Spring 2027 5K is scheduled for Saturday, May 22, 2027, at Depot Park in Whitefish, MT. The event is a celebratory, noncompetitive 5K; the standard 5K distance is 3.1 miles.
The event is intended to give program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. Every registered participant receives a commemorative 5K medal. Participants may walk, run, push, roll or skip at their own pace; typical finish times noted for participants range from about 25 to 50 minutes.
Safety and accessibility measures are in place. All participants must wear a race bib provided by the council. The event uses a running buddy system so each participant has an accompanying adult or designated buddy for the entire course. The council monitors the course, conducts head counts, and maintains a safety plan for staff and volunteers. Site accessibility includes designated parking and accommodations for participants with disabilities. Volunteers appointed through the council are required to undergo a background check.
The 5K includes additional season-end activities and support: face painting, water stations, happy hair stations, merchandise for sale, and an Inspiration Village. Family, friends and community members may register to participate, and all registrations include liability waivers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
