Here’s how it works:

-Register now through Sunday at gotrswin.org.

-pick a time and place this weekend (while following local social distancing guidelines) to walk or run the 5K.

The event can be completed on your own time and place- your neighborhood, even your backyard or living room

A virtual celebration takes place on Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm on the Girls on the Run Facebook page.

The celebration features a warmup, official kickoff, and cool-down activities along with a dance party and exercise Tik Tok tutorial.

Live content will be available at any time.
