Run for Her Virtual 5K

Join Girls on the Run of the DFW Metroplex (GOTRDFW) and run, walk, bike, stroll or roll in the Run for Her community virtual 5K event on Saturday, April 24, and Sunday, April 25. Participants can choose their own route, race date and time to support their local nonprofit chapter of Girls on the Run, a physical activity-based, positive youth development program for girls in third to eighth grade.

Participation in the virtual 5K event on April 24 and 25 is open to the public and all proceeds from the event benefit GOTRDFW.

Fundraising efforts from teams participating in the race will sponsor scholarships to give all girls access to the valuable programming of GOTR, regardless of their financial ability. Awards will be given for the individual and team with the greatest funds raised.

Registration cost is $40 for individuals; team registration also is available for a discounted rate. Registration includes an event T-shirt, medal and race bib.
