RACE DETAILS
Our course is a flat and fast out-and-back 5k from Bug Light Park in South Portland. 10k participants will complete the course twice.
Professional timing will be provided by Granite State Race Services.
WHY WE RUN
We run to break assumptions and build a community that empowers girls and women! This race is open to everyone, regardless of gender or background. Itâs not just about running; itâs about challenging stereotypes and showcasing the power of unity in sports. Inspired by Coach Katie Stannardâs experience, where assumptions often overshadowed her leadership, weâre turning frustration into positive action. By lacing up your sneakers and hitting the pavement, youâre supporting a mission that uplifts women and challenges preconceptions. Letâs run together, break barriers, and prove that anyone can accomplish incredible goals when given the opportunity and belief. Join the movement and make a differenceâone stride at a time!
NOT JUST A RACE
Our run coincides with the anniversary of Title IX and celebrates Olympic Day, adding an extra layer of significance to the occasion.
Whether youâre lacing up your running shoes or planning to be a spirited spectator, make your way to Bug Light State Park in Portland, ME, for a day filled with joy and camaraderie. Volunteer female college athletes will be onsite to run games and Olympic themed activities, so be sure to bring the kids along!

âJust A Girl 5k was the first race I participated in and I can honestly say I cannot wait for the next one! The atmosphere made me feel as though I could have run 10 miles, and I am not a runner. The support and encouragement I witnessed that day was inspiring and although one 5k a year may be enough for me, I am proud to participate in this one.â
