Chase your dreams and celebrate all girls being joyful, healthy, and confident at the Great Beginnings & Great Smiles Girls on the Run 5K.
The Asheville and WNC community is encouraged to join 500+ girls in 3rd through 8th grade from counties throughout Western North Carolina who have trained with volunteer coaches at 35 sites for the past 10 weeks as part of the Girls on the Run International program. The program combines running with lessons about important topics such as preventing bullying and processing emotions.
The 5K is a family-friendly event open to the public – all are welcome to join. New! We are chip-timing the run this year! Runners and walkers of all ages and levels are encouraged to register.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Girls on the Run of Western North Carolina scholarship fund, which aims to make the non-profit’s program accessible to all girls in the community, regardless of their ability to pay the registration fee.
Registration is $30 online. Registration will also be open on 5K day at the Asheville Outlets starting at 9:00 am. Strollers are welcome. Pets are not allowed at the event for safety reasons.
