THE 5K RACE IS BACK

Saturday, November 13th

 

The race will be held at Forest Park and GOTR has set up a special format.   There will be two waves of runners,  one at 8:30am and one at 10:00am. 

You can view the full, tentative 5k timeline here. 

 

We would love to have cheer stations for both waves.   We don't have any details regarding our cheer station location yet, so in the meantime let's work on forming the cheer team!  If you are interested in volunteering at the Gamma Phi cheer station with our collegians, please RSVP to Jackie.

Girls on the Run will no longer be requiring background checks for our cheer station volunteers, but we will still need contact information.

RSVP to Jackie McIlhagga  jackiemcilhagga@edwardjones.com

and send the following information:

name, birthday, phone #, email

 

THANKS so much for supporting our philanthropy.
