🏃♀️ Why Run the Thin Mint Sprint?
The Thin Mint Sprint is more than just a race. It is a fun, community-centered event that directly supports Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the leading organization for girls in Middle Tennessee.
Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee serves over 14,000 girls and volunteers across 39 counties, empowering them through programs that build leadership skills, encourage community engagement, and support personal development. The mission of Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place, and every step you take helps bring that mission to life.
Community support plays a key role in making events like the Thin Mint Sprint possible. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses or organizations interested in supporting girls in Middle Tennessee while being part of this fun, mission-driven event. Those interested can contact Scout Hardin at [email protected] to learn more.
Because this is a non-timed event, the Thin Mint Sprint is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or walking with friends or family, everyone is welcome. Plus, where else can you run for Thin Mints?
Please note that any future updates will be shared via email, on our social media channels, and on RunSignup, so be sure to keep an eye out.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and enthusiasm. We cannot wait to see you at the starting line!
