About the Event

Please don't sign up to be a running buddy if you are running with a specific school! Running Buddies are randomly assigned to schools who need extra support.

A Running Buddy is an adult woman (18+) who registers for and runs the 5K alongside a girl from the Girls on the Run program, offering support and encouragement throughout the event. Running Buddies help their assigned participant (or two) maintain a positive attitude and celebrate their achievement. They are positive role models who prioritize the girls' experience over their own race time and are background checked to ensure the safety of all participants.

Want to volunteer in a role other than a Running Buddy? Sign up here!

About Denver

Learn more about the host city, Denver.

Denver is the capital of the western U.S. state of Colorado and the dominant city of the Rocky Mountain Region. Founded in 1858 as the placer gold mining camp known as the Cherry Creek Diggings, the "Mile-High City" is today the most populous city within a 560-mile (900 km) radius and the center of the Front Range Urban Corridor of more than five million residents. Denver embraces its cowboy and mining past but also looks toward the future with a vibrant arts and performing arts scene, dozens of great outdoor festivals, and distinct neighborhoods each offering a unique experience. You'll find everything a cosmopolitan city has to offer including a spectacular view of and easy access to the beautiful Rocky Mountains, which arise only 12 miles (19 km) west of the Colorado State Capitol.
