Sweet Briar College

November 19, 2011

Congratulations to all of the Girls on the Run participants for completing twelve weeks of training and the goal of running a 5K.  These young runners met the challenge of the scenic Dairy Loop at Sweet Briar College and made it their own!  The temperatures were in the 30′s but the sun was shining and the skies were clear.  With record numbers of participants, spectators and volunteers descending upon the Campus of Sweet Briar College the mood was high and full of energy.  Thank you to all that helped keep the chaos to a minimum and the fun to a maximum! 

Special Thanks to:

  • Sweet Briar College for hosting the event and providing volunteers, support, and equipment
