A total of 2,400 girls from 132 schools across Colorado will come together to race for a great cause as the Girls on the Run 5K takes over Empower Field at Mile High this Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026.
Denver7 is a proud sponsor of this year's Girls on the Run 5K.
Lisa Hidalgo will emcee the event, which will include 2,400 runners, along with 515 coaches and volunteers putting the event on. Since 2005, Girls on the Run of the Rockies has served more than 74,000 girls.
This run is the culmination of the third- through eighth-grade programming, "which is designed as an inclusive place of belonging where team members feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health."
Girls on the Run of the Rockies is a nonprofit founded in 2005, dedicated to "creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams." The organization builds lasting, practical life skills, strengthens how girls see themselves and teaches them how to build supportive relationships.
