DO YOU WANT TO BE A RUNNING BUDDY?

A FEMALE RUNNING BUDDY MENTORS ONE GIRLS ON THE RUN PARTICIPANT THROUGH TWO 5K (3.1 miles) EVENTS.

THE FIRST EVENT IS THE "PRACTICE 5K" FUN RUN AT THE GIRL'S PROGRAM SITE ON MONDAY, MAY 2nd OR TUESDAY MAY 3rd (DATE AND TIME DEPENDS ON PROGRAM SITE YOU SELECT).

THE SECOND EVENT IS THE GOTR 5K RACE SERIES FUN
RUN ON SAT., MAY 21ST FROM 8:30-10:30AM AT BLACKIE'S
PASTURE IN TIBURON.

A Running Buddy will enjoy keeping pace with the girl and cheering her on! Each Running Buddy is matched one-on-one with a Girls on the Run girl to accompany, encourage and serve as a positive healthy role model for her two 5K events. Running Buddies are enthusiastic, supportive and patient and keep the needs of the girl a top priority. Girls on the Run is not a competitive running program and therefore the runs should not be treated as a competitive event.

Each Girls on the Run participant looks forward to having "her own" Buddy for the events. Maintaining consistency by running with the same person for both events contributes to her overall experience of mentorship and encouragement. Because each Running Buddy is pre-matched with a specific girl based on walking/running pace, commitment to attend both 5K events is extremely important. If you have to cancel, we ask that you give us a minimum of a week's notice before the first event so that we have time to find a replacement Buddy.
