5K Run Starting Time
The New Balance Girls on the Run 5K is the culmination of the Girls on the Run NOVA spring season. More than 3,000 girls aged 8-13 will celebrate their "girl power" by running 3.1 miles together with their "buddy runners" -- parents, family members, teachers, and coaches.
Come out and run with your daughters! This 5K is a non-competitive fun run perfect for runners at all levels – even joggers, and walkers. Come out to run or watch, and support the girls as they cross the finish line in celebration of all that they have accomplished this season.
To run with your daughter, you must register online as a “Buddy Runner” and specify your daughter’s school. Girls participating in the spring Girls on the Run and Girls on Track programs are already registered for The New Balance Girls on the Run 5K.
Community volunteers who are interested in helping out on race day by running with a girl from any school who needs a partner, should register as a Volunteer online. There are many non-running volunteer opportunities at the 5K, so please register online as a 5K volunteer. We have a job for everyone who wants to help!
