Go Girl Run | Columbia, MO

The Go Girl Run | Columbia, MO, set for June 5-6, 2026, invites women of all ages and abilities to celebrate health, fitness, and camaraderie in the vibrant city of Columbia, Missouri. Celebrating its 14th year, this all-women's event offers a Half Marathon, 5K, and a special Little Miss Go Girl 0.5M race for young aspiring runners. Typical race day conditions in early June feature highs around 83°F and lows around 64°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation, providing a warm and invigorating atmosphere for your race.

The race course, largely paved, guides participants through the scenic streets of Boone County, beginning and ending at the Mizzou Research Park (MU Parking Lot RP10-R, 1513 Research Park Dr). While generally welcoming, a notable hill early in the 5K course provides an initial challenge, followed by downhill segments and picturesque, often shaded, wooded trails that include running over a series of bridges. Aid stations along the course are well-supported by volunteers, providing water and gels to keep runners hydrated and energized. The Go Girl Run is renowned for its empowering and supportive environment, where every participant receives a custom race shirt, a finisher medal, and a special finisher item. The event also fosters a festive atmosphere with pre-race yoga and stretching, hair ribbon and friendship bracelet handouts, and post-race smoothies, ensuring a memorable experience for all.

Join a community brimming with "glitz and glam" as you embrace the spirit of strength and accomplishment. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the Half Marathon, enjoying the spirited 5K, or cheering on the next generation of runners in the Little Miss Go Girl event, the Go Girl Run in Columbia promises an uplifting and inspiring race experience.
