True

Yes! As this is the highlight of the season, there will be face painting, water stations, happy hair stations and more! Of course, we’ll have merchandise for sale, too!

We will also feature a Dream Hall - our group of inspirational women to encourage our girls to DREAM BIG!

Yes! Family, friends and community members outside of our program can participate in the event, but must register.

Yes. All 5K registration forms include liability waivers.

Absolutely! Every registered participant who completes the 5K will receive a medal.

The course for a 5K is 3.1 miles. 

As a reminder, this is a fun, celebratory event for our participants and not a competitive race. While our fastest 5K participants will complete the course in 25 minutes, most cross the finish line in 40-60 minutes. Everyone who participates is encouraged to walk, roll, push, run or skip at their happy pace!

Yes! This is encouraged! This is a great way to accomplish a goal together. 

We strongly encourage that all participants attend and complete the 5K, as it is the goal that teams are preparing for all season long!

However, understand that life happens, and circumstance might make it impossible to attend.

The 5K is the ultimate opportunity to build confidence through accomplishment. Remember, this is the first 5K event for many – including coaches, participants, friends and family members. We are in it together!

Yes. Girls on the Run 5K events are for everyone! All participants can walk, run, push or roll safely and at their own happy pace. Designated parking spots are available.

A Running Buddy is an individual designated by the council or by the parent/guardian to complete the 5K alongside a program participant during the 5K event, for the entire duration of the course.

For safety reasons, every participant must wear a race bib provided by us (they all say #1). Our council ensures every participant has a running buddy, and only critical 5K volunteers have access to confidential information.

To ensure every participant crosses the finish line, we monitor the course and conduct head counts. Our council has a safety plan in place, which trains staff and volunteers on how to respond during an emergency or incident.

Yes! Our Council is selling merchandise to support our program! Be sure to look for our merchandise booth/tent to commemorate this memorable event.

We encourage you to arrive early to make sure you have enough time to register. 

Napa Valley College requires all vehicles to pay for parking. We will have a validation code to apply to the fee so you do not need to pay.
