Calling all community members! Join us for a morning of fun and celebration as we MOVE FOR THE GIRL at Fast and Female’s inaugural Move For The Girls Community Event!
Our Move for the Girls Community Event is a 1km run for girls AND a 2.5km or 5km run, walk, run or wheel for community members at the U of T Scarborough Valley, followed by a community vendor market filled with activities that will be fun for the whole family and community.
This is a non-competitive run/walk/wheel where all ages, genders and abilities are welcome to join and support! Purchase a ticket on our sliding scale that best serves you and get ready for a morning for community building, fun and empowerment. All proceeds will go back to Fast and Female and our mission of empowering girls through sport, physical activity and education.
What is Move for the Girls?
October 11 marks International Day of the Girl, a day to celebrate the strong and incredible girls in our lives. We know that girls in sports are empowered for life and want to bring together our community in support of girls. Move for the Girls is a national virtual event meant to inspire and empower girls of all abilities to get moving and feel the benefits of physical activity! The event will last 9 days, host various challenges and initiatives to engage our community, and raise funds to support Fast and Female’s mission. This Community Event is the grand finale to the 9-day event!
