Girls on the Run Central KY 5K

Heidi Guckenberger, with Girls on the Run (GOTR,) comes to the studio to tell Eric Burke about the Girls on the Run Central KY 5K, coming up on Saturday, April 22nd.

Presented by Buchart Orthodontics, the run will happen at the Kentucky Horse Park, and kicks off at 9:00 a.m.

Girls on the Run Central Kentucky is a nonprofit that works with girls in the 3rd – 8th grade in 14 counties in central Kentucky. Using a fun, experienced-based curriculum that creatively integrates running, the group aims to inspire girls to be healthy, joyful and self confident.

The 5K is one of the organization’s biggest fundraisers. Over 70% of the girls receive at least a partial scholarship to participate in the program. Proceeds from the race go directly into GOTR’s scholarship fund. The public is invited to register to run, walk or skip to the finish line.

Register online at gotrcentralky.org, in person at Howard Curry Shoes on April 21 from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., or on race morning at the Kentucky Horse Park beginning at 7:00am.
