5k Volunteer Opportunities:

Every season Girls on the Run - DC relies on over 150 volunteers to make our celebratory 5K a success. We depend on volunteers to serve as greeters, course marshals, manage the start and finish line, water stops, and much more. We have a job for everyone that wants to help. Be part of building more strength, confidence, and joy in our GOTR participants so that they can make a difference tomorrow.

What is Girls on the Run?

Girls on the Run is an Independent Council of Girls on the Run International , which has a network of 200 locations across the United States and Canada.

Girls on the Run is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event. Completing a 5k gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result--making the seemingly impossible, possible and teaching girls that they can.
