Running Buddy Application - Spring 2024 5K, City Park Denver

Consider volunteering to be a Running Buddy!  Share a girl’s exhilaration and excitement as she crosses the finish line of her first 5K. For many girls, this is the biggest challenge and biggest accomplishment of Girls on the Run. The goal of the 5K is for the girls to do their best and HAVE FUN! Girls are not encouraged to race competitively, but are encouraged to reach their own goals. For most girls, that means making it to the finish-line- whether it is by walking, running or skipping!

Running Buddy Volunteer Description: Running Buddies are female volunteers that run with girls who do not have a friend or a parent to run with them.  The job of a Running Buddy is to accompany and encourage one or two girls through her 5K experience. That means running or walking at her pace and encouraging her to do her best, but also recognizing and respecting her limits.  We will assign you to a program site that needs adults to run with their girls the morning of the race.
