It was smiles and high-fives as 900 participants ran, walked and skipped during the Girls on the Run Fabulous Fall 5K on Sunday at Mare Island in Vallejo.
Presented by Napa’s Community Projects Inc., the event raised $17,000 for Girls on the Run programs, which inspire girls in grades 3-8 to build their confidence, kindness and decision-making skills.
“This is by far the best ever GOTR 5K,” said “Magical” Michela Ward, a 10-year volunteer life coach at K.I. Jones Elementary School in Fairfield. “Running through the Wendy the Welder space was so empowering.”
