A Practice 5K is a chance for our program participants to get a taste of what the real end-of-season 5K will be like in a less crowded and more familiar environment. Coaches and Team Managers really rise to the occasion when it comes to making the Practice 5K feel extra special. Read on to hear from one coach about how she makes this integral program component an exciting accomplishment for her team and learn how you can get in on the fun!

The Girls on the Run Memphis 5K on May 4th isn’t just a great way to get active for a good cause–it’s also a party! From 12:30PM to race start at 2PM, program participants, their families, runners, walkers, volunteers, and community champions alike are all encouraged to come celebrate girl power at our Pre-Race Fun Zone, right on the University of Memphis Alumni Mall. Read on to learn all about our special guests and activity stations for the big day!

GOTR Memphis is excited to launch the peer-to-peer fundraising campaign Unstoppable Us for the first time ever this spring. Unstoppable Us is a completely optional, non-competitive campaign that empowers our program participants to join us in our promise to keep Girls on the Run accessible to all folks in the 901, regardless of ability to pay. Girls who raise over $100 will earn special GOTR capes for 5K day!

Girls on the Run Memphis is thrilled to welcome Molly Barker to the 901 ahead of our Empowered Giving Circle fundraising event March 30th! Molly will be speaking about her incredible journey and how she overcame the challenges in her way on Sunday, March 30th at the Annesdale Mansion. While the event is free to attend, it serves as a fundraiser and information session for the GOTR Memphis Empowered Giving Circle, a group of community champions that make a significant annual or monthly contribution to GOTR Memphis. 

Join us on May 4th for an afternoon of empowerment, whole-body wellness, and girl power celebrations!
