Girls On The Run Long Island

It’s a beautiful day for a 5K! Congratulations to all our 5K participants and thank you to everyone who cheered them on every step of the way.

Do you have dancing bananas on your hype squad? We do!

Go bananas!

It’s not a Girls on the Run Long Island 5K without our Power Hour stations. Before our GOTR girls took on 3.1 miles, they made sure they sparkled! With Bling Your Bib, Face Painting and Happy Hair, our runners let their girl power shine.

Up next, the 5K!

Ready and waiting for 1,200 5K participants this morning. Our largest 5K yet!

Can you believe the big day is just hours away? Remember to check the weather, review directions, and queue up a fun car-ride playlist!

Make sure your girl gets a good night’s sleep and a nourishing dinner to fuel her from start to finish. A little preparation goes a long way! We look forward to seeing your girls’ smiling faces in the morning!

Who's ready for a 5K?! Our Girls on the Run Long Island 5K is only 2 days away, and we can't wait to celebrate with all of you.

Join us on May 30 at Eisenhower Park (by parking lots 1, 2, and 4) and don't forget to leave time for our Pre-Run Fun Stations!

As we prepare for our Girls on the Run Long Island 5K in just a few days, we want to take this time to thank our National Girls on the Run 5K Partners.

All across the country GOTR girls, coaches, their Running Buddies and families are coming together to celebrate another incredible season and cross those finish lines at their happy paces. It's because of the support we receive from our partners that we can keep making our 5K events bigger and better than ever.

A huge Super Star thank you to:

Girls can do anything, and with your support we can continue showing them just how far they can go!
