2026 Frederick Running Festival with Girls on the Run

Get ready to unleash your power with Girls on the Run! We're all about empowering young girls through our unique, research-backed program blending physical activity with life-changing confidence-building activities. For girls in 3rd through 8th grade, it's more than just running - it's a safe, supportive space to learn about emotions, empathy, and advocacy, all culminating in a 5K celebration that's about personal victories, not just finish lines.

Feel the rush of doing good for yourself and for others as a GOTR SoleMate, where your passion for running meets purpose. Every stride you take and every dollar you raise lets us reach more girls, showing them that they too can do hard things. Plus, with perks like branded gear and a supportive community backing you, becoming a SoleMate is as rewarding for you as it is impactful for them. Join us, go at your Happy Pace, and let's run the world!
