Girls on the Run of Western Colorado will host a Frisco 5K on Oct. 26 at Summit Middle School.

Girls on the Run of Western Colorado is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that uses fun running games and dynamic discussions to teach life skills to girls in third through eighth grade. During the program, girls participate in lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections and encourage community service while they prepare for an end-of-season celebratory 5K event.

Participation in the fall Frisco 5K is open to the public and all proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run of Western Colorado. Event organizers anticipate more than 500 participants in this year’s celebratory event. 

The cost for the Frisco 5K is $25 if one registers by Oct. 23 and $35 for day-of registration. The first 175 registered participants will receive a Girls on the Run branded item. The 5K is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Summit Middle School is located at 158 School Road in Frisco.
