GGRF Global Running Day 5K Community Run at Dukem Resturant

GGRF Global Running Day 5K

Join Girls Gotta Run Foundation (GGRF) for a purpose-driven 5K in the heart of Washington, DC as we team up with beloved local, family-owned Ethiopian restaurant Dukem to celebrate Global Running Day.

This event is not a race. It's a movement. Whether you walk, jog, or run, every step you take helps amplify the voices and dreams of young Ethiopian girls in GGRF’s programs in Bekoji and Soddo. After the 5K, head over to Dukem for a post-run celebration featuring delicious Ethiopian food, music, and community.

Want to wear your impact? Donate $25 or more to our [GoFundMe page]( https://www.gofundme.com/f/ggrf-global-running-day-5k), and you’ll receive an exclusive GGRF hat at the event.

Bonus Impact: A portion of proceeds from your meal at Dukem will go directly to GGRF programs. So come hungry—your appetite supports opportunity.

Why participate? This event is part of our celebration of Global Running Day, a worldwide movement that honors the unifying power of running. By joining us, you're not only moving your body—you’re moving our mission forward, where girls use running as a pathway to access education, build confidence, and invest in their futures.
