GOTR Treasure Valley Spring 2026 5K

The GOTR Treasure Valley Spring 2026 5K invites runners and walkers of all abilities to a celebratory and inspiring event on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, in Meridian, ID. This untimed 3.1-mile course is held at Kleiner Park (1900 N Records Way, Meridian ID), offering a scenic and accessible experience. The race begins near Shelter A-1 and the basketball courts, guiding participants along three well-marked loops through the park's pathways. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 69F and comfortable lows around 44F, with a minimal 6% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable morning.

What truly sets the GOTR Treasure Valley Spring 5K apart is its mission and inclusive atmosphere. As the culmination of an 8-week program, this event celebrates the accomplishments of Girls on the Run participants, empowering young girls to recognize their inner strength and build confidence through physical activity. It's a non-competitive gathering where everyone is encouraged to move at their "happy pace," whether walking, rolling, pushing, running, or skipping. Water stations staffed by enthusiastic volunteers will be available to support participants along the route.

Beyond the 5K, the event transforms into a vibrant Girls on the Run Activity Festival, offering family arrival and bib pickup starting at 8:30 am, followed by a musical warm-up at 9:50 am before the first wave begins at 10:00 am. This creates a joyful and supportive environment for participants and their families, fostering community spirit and healthy habits. Friends, family, and community members are all welcome to join in the celebration, making it an inspiring experience for everyone involved.
