Girls on the Run


The 10th Annual Girls on the Run Silicon Valley hosts its 5K run/walk at Vasona Park this Saturday, May 18!  The event is open to all members and ages of the family, and marks the culmination of the Girls on the Run program for third, forth and fifth grade girls.  In the 10 week program the girls trained weekly for the event while learning about positive image, healthy choices, and self respect.  

GOTR Silicon Valley, a nonprofit organization and independent council of Girls on the Run International, shared on Facebook their top 10 reasons to participate this Saturday in the Girls on the Run event.  To see the top 2 reasons, go to their facebook page


  • Number 10: For the amazing volunteer support along the course!
  • Number 9: To start, finish and run through beautiful Vasona Park!
  • Number 8: To get GOTR-ized at Happy Hair (brought to the event by national Girls on the Run sponsor Goody).
  • Number 7: For sweet treats and healthy snacks at the finish line!
  • Number 6: For Mardi Gras Beads at every water station!
  • Number 5: To have fun warming up before the 5K!
  • Number 4: To get a special GOTR button for finishing an "I am Girls on the Run because... " coloring sheet (print one out beforehand or get one that morning at the Inspiration Station).
  • Number 3: For running with friends, family and teammates!
