River Run 5K Update- One Month Away!

The Rotary River Run 5K Committee is excited to share that plans are in full swing for this year’s 5K event.  The primary beneficiary of the proceeds will be Girls on the Run (GOTR) of Northwest Ohio.  GOTR offers a 10 week, 20 lesson program to girls in 3^rd through 5^th grades and is present in every elementary school in Perrysburg.  Programming enhances the social, mental, physical, and emotional health of girls. Each lesson is led by trained volunteer coaches who guide and mentor girls through a FUN, evidence-based curriculum that includes experiential learning with uplifting team and character building activities. Along the way, the girls train together to walk or run a community wide 5k (3.1 mile) event with over 1,000 people in attendance to cheer them on. For many girls, crossing the finish line is just the beginning of a lifetime of possibility!  In addition, 10% of the net proceeds will go to support Fort Meigs historical site where a portion of the race course will be held.

 

Join us during Perrysburg Rotary’s “Weekend of Service” by participating in the 5K or volunteering along the course route.  Runners, joggers and walkers are all welcome at the 3^rd Annual Rotary River Run 5K.
