Nothing says “I just crushed a 5K” quite like a celebratory popsicle! 🍦🎉💗

A HUGE thank you to Creamies for helping make our Celebratory 5K extra sweet by providing popsicles for all of our Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole participants at the finish line! Seeing all the smiles made the day even more special.

We are so grateful for community partners like Creamies who help us celebrate every girl’s accomplishment in such a fun way! ✨🏃‍♀️

One of the most powerful parts of Girls on the Run isn’t just what the girls do—it’s what they take with them 💗

Throughout the season, they build a “toolbox” full of life skills they can carry forever—confidence, kindness, resilience, and so much more. In these moments, our girls are reflecting on their season—writing down what they’ve learned, their favorite lessons, and what they love about themselves. And that kind of self-reflection? That’s something truly special ✨

Girls on the Run is so much more than running. It’s about helping girls discover who they are, believe in themselves, and walk (and run!) through life with confidence long after the season ends 🏃‍♀️💪

Tomorrow’s the big day… our Celebratory 5K is finally here! 🎉🏃‍♀️💗

We can’t wait to see all of our Girls on the Run participants cross the finish line and celebrate everything they’ve accomplished this season. You’ve worked so hard—now it’s time to shine! ✨

We’re also so excited to partner with The Spark Foundation for the Annual Cow Paddy Youth Run it's going to be something special! 🐄🎉

A few quick reminders for race day:
👕 Wear your GOTR shirt
💧 Bring a water bottle
🌈 Don’t forget your festive running gear (tutus, funky socks, all the fun!)
🏷️ GOTR participants will receive their bib from their coach in the morning
🏃‍♂️ Buddy Runners: don’t forget to pick up your bib TONIGHT from 3–7 PM at the Gulley Park Gazebo
😴 And most importantly—get lots of rest tonight!

Let’s make it a day to remember! 🎉

They’ve put in the miles, the smiles, and the hard work—and it shows 💪✨

Our Girls on the Run participants crushed their practice 5K, and we couldn’t be more proud of all they’ve accomplished this season. From setting goals to cheering each other on every step of the way, these girls are truly stronger together 💗🏃‍♀️

We can’t wait to see them cross the finish line THIS Saturday—side by side as a team! 🎉

One of our FAVORITE lessons in the Girls on the Run curriculum: Words Matter 💗

In this activity, we have the girls take turns squeezing all the toothpaste out of a tube—no explanation, just go for it! Then comes the challenge… put it ALL back in.

Pretty impossible, right?

It’s such a powerful visual reminder that once our words are out there, we can’t take them back. This lesson helps our girls understand the impact their words can have and encourages them to choose kindness, empathy, and positivity every day.

Because at Girls on the Run, we believe our words have power—and using them for good can make all the difference. ✨

Our Girls on the Run teams are in full swing with their Community Impact Projects 💗🏃‍♀️

Each season, each team comes together to choose a project that matters to them—giving girls the chance to connect with their community, build a sense of belonging, and see firsthand that they have the power to make a difference.

We’re excited to spotlight our GOTR Root Elementary team for their thoughtful project! ✨ They created and decorated door hangers for children at the local Children’s Hospital here in Northwest Arkansas. These small acts of kindness go a long way in spreading joy, encouragement, and smiles to kids who need it most.

This is what Girls on the Run is all about—empowering girls to lead with heart, take action, and make an impact in their community. 💫
