Run a race like you never have before. Be a Running Buddy for the Lollipop 5k Run! Partner with an incredible girl from one of our school or community programs, then run the Lollipop 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; you will be inspired and you will have the time of your life.
- Be at least 16 years old (men and women are both encouraged to register)
- Model enthusiastic, supportive, fun and flexible* behaviors at all times.
- Donate the $35 non-refundable Running Buddy race registration fee.
- Attend the pre-race Running Buddy practice** at your program’s site and meet your buddy! CLICK HERE for a PDF of practice dates and locations.
- Call your buddy in the week prior to the Lollipop 5k to offer encouragement and ensure she has transportation to the event.
- Arrive to the Lollipop 5k on Sat, May 8th at 8:30am.
- Run, jog, or power walk the race with your Running Buddy!***
- Enjoy the post-run program and celebration, eat some delicious food and have fun!
*Flexibility is critical for this position. Working with so many kids means working with chaos and last minute changes!*
**Running Buddy Alternate. If you cannot attend a pre-race Running Buddy practice at the program site, you must choose ‘alternate’ upon registering as a Running Buddy. You will be paired with and meet your Running Buddy girl when you check in at 9:00am on race day morning.
***If your Running Buddy does not show up on race day, we will try our best to match you up with another girl and we appreciate your patience and understanding in advance, as we manage last minute efforts.
Your involvement at the Lollipop 5k Run greatly benefits the hundreds of girls that we serve.
THANK YOU!
