BE A GIRLS ON THE RUN RUNNING BUDDY!

  

Share a girl's excitement and enormous sense of accomplishment as she crosses the finish line at the OUC 5K in Downtown Orlando on Saturday, December 5!

Each Running Buddy is paired with a girl and runs by her side, encouraging her to do her best while also recognizing and respecting her limits. Rather than race competitively, we encourage the girls to strive for their own goals.

 

We ask Running Buddies to:

- Commit to a total of two dates (the practice 5K and OUC 5K)

- Be enthusiastic, supportive, fun, and flexible

- Be able to run, jog, or power walk a 5k distance

- We cannot emphasize enough the importance of flexibility - working with kids means embracing chaos and last-minute planning!

 

When:  Running Buddies meet with their girls on two dates:

1. One practice session at the school you have been matched with, to meet your girl

2. The OUC 5K in Downtown Orlando on Saturday December 5 

Who can sign up:  Registration is open to women or men, ages 18 and up

Be sure to check our “Locations” page to make sure you are available for practice sessions!

 

***Please note: every effort will be made to ensure that your girl buddy attends the final run. However, we cannot guarantee attendance, and we rely on your patience and understanding when last-minute changes are necessary. No matter what, your presence at the 5k Run greatly benefits the girls that we serve.
