​#GOTRLA

Weeks of training will culminate this Sunday 5/22 as @EagleRockElem girls will run the @GOTRLA 5k 

Girls on the Run of Los Angeles will host their annual Family 5k event on Sunday, May 22. Please remember that this is a family fun run/walk and we encourage everyone to come and finish at your own happy pace. Training for a 5K is a huge accomplishment and we hope to see all of you at the finish line. Congratulations on your training and best of all, have a fun!

The event officially kicks off at 8 am. This includes late registration, bib pick up for all, face painting, happy (washable) hair spray, temporary tattoos and more. We will have refreshments after so plan to have breakfast before you come. Perhaps something light such as toast with nut butter and a banana with a beverage instead of a stack of pancakes with eggs, potatoes and sausages! 

If you are planning to participate on Sunday, we encourage you to come dressed in attire and shoes that will comfortably support your running/walking for 3.1 miles! There will be one water stop on the course and you should also feel free to bring your own water bottle.

Each team will have two signs, one hand held and one attached to the fence where all teams will meet, so please look for the Eagle Rock Elementary sign and meet us there no later than 9 am. The run/walk will begin promptly at 9:30 am in 4 waves; we are in wave #3 which starts at 9:40 am. Please, please do not wait until the very last minute to find us.
