Girls on the Run Sierras calls on volunteers for 15th annual event

The event will run in conjunction with the Truckee Running Festival at the Riverview Sports Park in Truckee. The untimed run helps provide vital funds needed to provide scholarships to the girls within the local community. For the past 10 weeks, 250 girls have been preparing for the 5k run. Participants can join the event by registering to run, or by signing up as a volunteer prior to Tuesday, May 31.

Most volunteers will need to be present from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., with some participants staying as late as noon. To register for the event, community members can sign up at https://www.girlsontherunsierras.org/5K-Detail#show-volunteer.
