Girls on the Run of Western Colorado (GOTR) will host a Fall Durango 5K on Saturday, November 4, at Three Springs Durango Real Estate, located at 175 Mercado Street, Durango.
The 5K begins at 11am.
Girls on the Run Western Colorado is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that uses fun running games and dynamic discussions to teach life skills to girls in 3rd – 8th grade. During the 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.
Participation in the Fall Durango 5K is open to the public and all proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run of Western Colorado. We anticipate more than 500 participants in this celebratory event.
The cost for the Fall Durango 5K is $25 by November 1 and $35 for day-of registration. The first 175 registered participants will receive a GOTR branded lunch tote.
