Girls on the Run’s Gingerbread (Wo)man 5K in Las Vegas
In the whimsical spirit of the holidays, Girls on the Run Las Vegas held its seasonal 5K run—the Gingerbread (Wo)man Dash. The race was led by Safe Nest Chief Executive Officer Liz Ortenburger, who dressed in a charming Gingerbread (Wo)man-inspired running dress. Chasing her were more than 300 girls, their Running Buddies and community runners.

Each girl is paired with an adult Running Buddy who runs alongside them during the 5K. This celebratory, non-competitive event marks the conclusion of a season-long, experienced-based curriculum designed to develop confidence, friendship, strength and emotional and spiritual health in young girls—all while integrating running.
