Girls on the Run 5K 2014
MBE student Ellie Thomas and her running buddy/mother Paige participate in the 2013 Girls on the Run 5K.
Girls on the Run (GOTR) instills self-respect and empowers young girls to make healthy choices through running. This spring, GOTR includes many teams from the Mountain Brook community as well as other areas of Birmingham. The two GOTR seasons are made possible by proceeds from a 5K that is open to the entire community and welcomes runners of all levels.
The race will be held May 10 at 8 a.m. at Marconi Park in downtown Birmingham. Each girl in the program has a running buddy over the age of 16 to accompany and encourage her during the race. The chip-timed race will give out age group awards. More information on how to register can be found at girlsontherunbham.org.
