We invite and STRONGLY REQUEST any and all GO GIRL RUN participants in town the evening before their event to come out to the Little Miss GO GIRL event to cheer on, create a scene, and encourage of all of the young girls participating. The courses will be spectator friendly as well as an accessible finish line to crowd around and cheer.

Little Miss GO GIRL participants can register for the 1/2 Mile or Full Mile depending on their confidence and ability level. Parents/Role Models/Etc. are welcome to run/walk with their child in the 1/2 Mile but not welcome to do so in the Full Mile. Both events are designed for beginners and open to all but the 1 Mile is designed to be for older or more confident girls that do not need accompanied by an adult. Any girl aged walking to 13 is welcome to participate.
