The Girls on the Run 5K takes a village! Even before 5K day, hundreds of volunteers hours go into getting the event ready. We have a huge thank you for our Finish Line sponsor, Sam's Club! Local Sam's Club stores came together to provide granola bars and bananas for all of our 5K finishers. These rockstar employees spent Saturday afternoon volunteering and getting the finish line ready to go before our Sunday 5K! AND Sam's Club's financial support helped fund an inclusive, safe and celebratory 5K for all. Thank you Sam's Club! Sponsoring the GOTR 5K is a great way to raise your brand visibility around a positive cause, while making a lasting impact to empower girls across Minnesota. New sponsorships are now open.
