Strandwood's Girls on the Run team is now recruiting Running Buddies to support our athletes at the Girls on the Run 5K in Golden Gate Park on Saturday, May 11. Partner with an incredible girl from our team, then run the Girls on the Run 5K with her - encouraging her, cheering her on and sharing in her excitement along the way! You will recognize your buddy's limits and support her to achieve her goals. What a great way to get inspired while having the time of your life!  

Running Buddies must meet the following requirements:

1. Be at least 16 years old by April 12.

2. Model enthusiastic, supportive, fun and flexible behaviors at all times.

3. Attend our practice 5K on Monday, April 22 at 3 pm (at Strandwood) to meet your buddy and help her finish her practice race.

4. Be available for the Girls on the Run 5K on Saturday, May 11 at 8:45 am. (You will need to register and pay for the race separately. Registration fee is $36.)

5. Agree to a basic background screening by Girls on the Run if not assigned by a parent of one of our athletes.

6. Have a fabulous time supporting your buddy.
