Punta Gorda Gotr Spring 5k

Get ready to lace up and make memories that will last a lifetime! Do your future self a favor and be a part of a day that sparks joy that lasts long after you cross the finish line. 

We welcome all runners from our community to run with us.  You will be so glad you joined the fun!

Anyone who has been to a Girls on the Run 5K knows that it is unlike any other running event.  It is a celebration of and for the girls who are completing an 8 week season of Girls on the Run programming. By the day of the 5K, their enthusiasm is so unbridled that they are running around before the race!  Positive energy abounds as the girls dance to warm-up music, get their hair “happied” and "tattoos" on their faces, and gather with their teammates to hold hands as they head to the starting line.
