News & Events
Each Fall and Spring, the 10-week program culminates in a GOTR 5k run/walk, which are held in November and May. The 5k event, which is open to the public to watch and participate in, includes many family members and friends who come together to support the girls as they cross the finish line.
The race is always a special day for the girls. They participate in a variety of kid-friendly activities both before and after the race, as well as along the course. All participants receive free food/drink, a race t-shirt and a goodie bag. All registered Girls on the Run participants receive free entry to the GOTR 5k that season.

Thank you to the entire Greater Summit community for supporting our Fall New Balance Girls on the Run 5k. Coaches, parents, friends and community runners filled Howe Meadow in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on Sunday, Nov. 13. The air was buzzing with positive energy and the weather was perfect! More than 750 runners, including 323 Girls on the Run participants, crossed the finish line. This end of the season event is so much more that just a 5k; it's an opportunity for the girls to celebrate who they are.
This amazing event would not have been possible without the many volunteers who came out to help! Thanks so very much to all of you from Girls on the Run of Greater Summit!
Special thanks to our 5k sponsors!
