Brief Description

Please come run with Girls on the Run Manhattan at one of the most moving and unique events in Manhattan! Hundreds of young girls will celebrate the completion of their Girls on the Run training program by running 3.1 miles together. Running Buddy registration includes a race t-shirt and race bib, along with our heartfelt thanks for your support and participation. Run along with us to celebrate health, inspiration and months of hard work at this fun event where all girls are number one!

About Girls on the Run Manhattan

Girls on the Run Manhattan reaches 200+ girls throughout the city. Each site has a team of volunteer coaches who use a patented curriculum to help girls discover the power of running while learning about self esteem, team-building and the importance of strong values. The 5k Run is the culmination of this 12 wk program, where girls learn to stretch themselves - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually -- and, in the process, learn to live a life of self-respect and healthy living.

What is a Running Buddy?

Running Buddies are enthusiastic, supportive, fun, patient, and able to run, jog or power walk a one-mile or 5K distance. In an ideal situation, you will be paired up with a single girl and serve as a mentor through the 5K run. It’s possible, however, that we will have too few or too many volunteers. If that is the case, you may be asked to jog with a small group of girls, or serve as a cheerleader along the route. Please contact Holly Carmichael (runningholly@gmail.com) with questions.

Running Buddy Commitment

Running buddies are commiting to participating on race day. All running buddies will receive additional information about race day logistics and the pre-race information sessions via the email address that you provide during registration. This information will be sent out a couple of days prior to the event.

Running Buddies - Additional Info

Currently we are only accepting female running buddies. The only exception is fathers or legal guardians who wish to run with their daughter(s). Males may also volunteer for other race day activities, and/or may participate in the race (General Registration). Please contact RunningBuddiesGOTRM@gmail.com for information on how to get involved.

Closing Date

RUNNING BUDDY REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. WE HAVE REACHED OUR RUNNING BUDDY CAP. You may still attend the Fun Run and register at the event, but you will not be assigned as a running buddy. To attend the Fun Run, please contact Holly Carmichael at RunningHolly@gmail.com.

"Race" vs "Fun Run"

The girls' race is an un-timed event strictly for fun and empowering girls to cross the finish line! If you wish to run the event individually please sign up under "General Registration". This is a fun run. No prizes will be awarded. No skateboards, baby joggers, bikes, dogs or inline skates will be allowed on the course
