Big news! Girls on the Run Hampton Roads is officially the Premier Charity Partner of the 2026 Virginia Beach 10 Miler & 5K presented by Sentara! 🎉

In celebration of their 20th Anniversary, more than 2,100 Girls on the Run Hampton Roads participants, coaches, and buddies will finish their season by conquering the 5K together - all starting from the final corral with a celebratory send-off.

A finish line full of courage, confidence, and smiles awaits! 👏

Our committed coaches remind girls that their ideas matter and are worth sharing. This impact isn’t temporary. When girls believe in themselves, their confidence grows, and new goals feel within reach. Coaches, we recognize the heart, time, and skill you pour into Girls on the Run and are endlessly grateful for you. Just as you inspire girls, you inspire us.

Gear up for our 5K this Saturday with our GOTR Shop! We have athletic zip ups, limited edition t-shirts, cheer signs, hats, and more! You can pickup your goodies at the expo on Friday, May 8th at the Virginia Beach Convention Center to skip the shipping! Shop today: https://gotrhr.square.site/

With gratitude to the Center for Nonprofit Excellence, our Executive Director, Ellen Carver, visited the Richmond Capitol and General Assembly for a full day of nonprofit advocacy yesterday. The highlight was a session with Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi, who has a long career as a champion of education and health, and is a role model for women and girls to use their voices to effect change.
