True

Our teams are geographically dispersed throughout Eastern Iowa. Our teams in Cedar Falls (Aldrich, Cedar Heights, and Orchard Hill) will participate in the Run Like a Mother 5K in Cedar Falls while other teams will participate in the Iowa City Spring 2023 5K or in local, site-based 5Ks.

The course for a 5K is 3.1 miles. 

First, we understand that life happens, and circumstances might make it impossible to attend.

We strongly encourage that all participants attend and complete the 5K, as it is the goal that teams are preparing for all season long! It’s the ultimate opportunity to build confidence through accomplishment. Remember, this is the first 5K event for many – including coaches, participants, friends and family members. We are in it together!

A Running Buddy is identified by a parent/guardian to complete the 5K alongside a program participant during the 5K event, for the entire duration of the course.

Yes! This is encouraged! This is a great way to accomplish a goal together. 

Absolutely! Every registered GOTR participant who completes the 5K will receive a medal and a certificate.

Yes! Family, friends, and community members outside of our program can participate in the event, but must register.

Your child's coach team will provide additional information about pre-5K activities for GOTR participants at the Run Like a Mother 5K.
