I Run for Girls 5K Run/Walk

Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey (GSHNJ) will hold its annual “I Run for Girls 5K Run/Walk” at a new location: the Orange Reservoir in West Orange. Known for its wide, paved paths and scenic water views, the reservoir offers a picturesque and accessible backdrop for this growing community event.

Timed by RacingNJ and managed by Practice Hard, the Run/Walk is a USATF-sanctioned 500-point Grand Prix event welcoming runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, including families with strollers and individuals using wheelchairs.

Girl Scout troops from across the region will once again staff the event, adding spirit and service to every step of the day.

Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each USATF age group category.

Check in opens at 8 am. The race starts at 9 am.

Early Bird discounts apply through August 31. For fees, to register or to donate, visit the website. All registrants receive a custom event T-shirt and medal.

Participants can create or join a fundraising team or fundraise individually to deepen their impact.

Proceeds from the event support programs that spark curiosity, nurture self-confidence, and equip members with the skills to navigate life with purpose and joy.
