Girls on the Run of Greater Rochester will host its 5K event on Saturday, June 1, at MCC Brighton Campus. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that uses fun running games and dynamic discussions to teach life skills to girls in third to eighth grade. During the ten-week program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections and encourage community service while they prepare for an end-of-season celebratory 5K event.
One hundred volunteers are needed for the event to be successful. All proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run of Greater Rochester. Last year’s 5K events brought together over 2,000 participants including program participants, their family and friends, and community members.
