We are asking people to stand anywhere along the route to cheer and motivate the girls. It's going to be hot, so they may need extra motivation! They have worked hard all season, so let's show them they have the community's support! Here is the map of our route. GOTR 5k Route 0 https://5il.co/1a4qy
