🎉 We're Turning 15—and You're Invited to the Birthday Bash 5K!

This year marks 15 years of Girls on the Run in Southwest Florida, and we’re celebrating the way we know best—by running (and dancing, and glowing, and cheering) with the entire community!

Join us on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at JetBlue Park for the Birthday Bash 5K—our biggest, boldest event yet. More than 1,500 runners—including girls, running buddies, coaches, families, and community members—will come together for an evening full of joy, movement, and unforgettable memories.

This isn’t your typical 5K. Picture this:
A glowing sea of runners at sunset.
Live music pumping from the stage.
A celebration that ends with a magical surprise under the stars.

And all of it in honor of the 9,000+ girls we’ve cheered across the finish line since 2010.

At Girls on the Run SWFL, we believe every girl is born with power and potential. Through our programs, they build confidence, strengthen life skills, and learn how to lift others as they rise. Our 5K is the culmination of each season—and for many of our girls, it’s their very first finish line. It’s a moment they carry with them forever.

Now, we’re inviting YOU to be part of that moment.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, sponsor, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence helps fuel this mission. Your support means more girls—more future leaders—get the chance to grow stronger in confidence and character.

Let’s make this birthday one to remember.
