Bib Number
Girls in the program and coaches who are Running Buddies do NOT need to stand in line at the
Registration tables. They will get their bibs from their Head Coach. All others need to check in at
Registration for their bib. Please wear your bib on the front of your torso on your outermost layer. Bib
numbers are not transferrable. You may not run with someone else’s bib number.
Finding Your Team
The teams have been divided into 4 waves that
determine placement on the field. Check the list of
teams
here
to find your wave and team number. Then
find your spot on this map.
Tshirt Distribution
You will be given your tshirt when you pick up your
bib number. GOTR participants and coaches do not
get an additional 5K tshirt; the garnet shirt they got
during the season is their 5K shirt.
Activity Booths
The 5K doesn't start until 9:00am, but we have fun, spirited events starting at 7:30am. Look for
temporary tattoos, a fun photo booth, colored hair spray, Legos, pom poms and more! This season, we
have a fabulous GOTR merchandise booth and invite you to check out some of our new apparel!
Charity Miles
Girls on the Run is an official partner with Charity Miles! By
downloading this free app to your iPhone or Android, you can use
each run, walk or bike ride to support our girls! Our goal is to have
each adult runner at the Girls on the Run 5k use Charity Miles!
Help us make our goal and we will raise over $500! Download the
app today and run fun!
Start
The start and finish line will be on the grass in Preble Field. In order to ease congestion, we will start in
4 waves. Our GOTR participants and Running Buddies will have their wave number printed on their bib.
We will call teams to the start line in groups of 10. Families and community runners who are joining us
are welcome to join whichever wave they’d prefer.

The 5K Course
Course Overview
The flat 3.1 mile, twoloop course starts and
finishes on the grass in Preble Field.
The course will get crowded. Be careful and
watch out for other runners. If you need to
walk, move to the right and allow others to run
past you on the left.
Strollers are permitted. We just ask that you
line up at the back of the starting line, to ensure
your safety and the safety of the other
participants.
For safety reasons, animals, inline skaters, skateboards, bicycles and like vehicles are NOT permitted.
The use of headphones is discouraged.
Lap Counters
Since this is a two lap course, we will be handing out Mardi Gras bead lap counters at the end of the
first lap. This area may get congested, watch your step as you take a second to slow down and collect
your beads. Once you get them, please wear your beads so that Course Marshals can see them and
help position you for the finish.
Water Stations
Water will be available at the start, finish and at the two water stations on the course. The water
stations will be passed at approximately miles 1.0 and 2.45.
Portable Toilets
For your convenience, portable toilets will be placed near the start/finish area near the corner of
Cushing Rd and Roosevelt Rd. There are also the park restroom buildings:
1. On Cushing Rd near the intersection of Dewey Road
2. In the park, along the water between Roosevelt and Womble Roads
3. In the park, along the water, between Womble and Farragut Roads
Time Limit
We will keep the course open until the last participant crosses the finish line. We expect that to be
around 10:15am.

your family at the end of the finishing chute.
Medical Assistance
Medical personnel will be available for emergency care as well as to attend to critical and noncritical
injuries at the finish line.
Final Words
For many, this is their first 5K. Girls on the Run is a fun and supportive environment. Whether you’re
first or last we want you to have a good time. Please be supportive of your fellowrunners and treat
everyone with respect before, during, and after the 5K.
THANK A VOLUNTEER!
We will have over 120 volunteers present to ensure that all have a wonderful morning; please take a
moment to share a highfive and thank them for their time.
