Well over 200 girls and family members braved a heavy winter snowstorm Saturday morning in Steamboat Springs to run in the Girls on the Run 5K. These are girls from all over the Western Slope. One of those girls was Aly in 3rd grade at Sandrock Elementary in Craig.
“My favorite thing about Girls on the Run was getting to meet everyone.”
And yes, all those girls ran in a snowy blizzard. Here’s Alexis, a 5th grader from Sunset Elementary in Craig.
“I like the ending because then you finally get to go inside.”
There are a lot of pictures of the fun on our Facebook page, and a couple were on 9News over the weekend.
