Girls on the Run of the Flint Hills
Girls on the Run of the Flint Hills will celebrate their 5 Year Anniversary at the 5K event on December 1, 2018 at the KSU World War I Memorial Stadium. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that uses fun running games and dynamic discussions to teach life skills to girls in 3rd to 8th grade. During the ten-week program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections and encourage community service while they prepare for an end-of-season celebratory 5K event.
Participation in the 5K event on December 1st is open to the public and all proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run of the Flint Hills. This season girls, families and community runners will complete a two loop course through Kansas State University with a celebration at the KSU Memorial Stadium. Last season’s 5K event brought together nearly 1,000 participants including program participants, their family and friends, volunteers and community members. Registration cost is $30 in advance and includes an event shirt and commemorative 5 year anniversary medal.
Packet pick up will be on Thursday, November 29th and Friday, November 30th at Academy Sports + Outdoors. Event festivities will begin 9 am on December 1st at KSU Memorial Stadium early arrival is suggested.
