Please have available all of the following information when registering: insurance information, doctor and emergency contact info, health history info, name of person who will run with your daughter as their adult running buddy at the 5k event and a credit card for payment.

Running Buddies: Each girl will need to have a running buddy for the race. An example of who can be a running buddy would be a parent, sibling or relative over 16 years of age, teacher, etc. If you do not have a running buddy, you will need to let the coaches know so that they can try to find someone to be her buddy for the race. All running buddies must sign up separately for the 5k run in May.
