Run for the Cookies 5K

Join the Go Getter Challenge to do fun activities with your troop and raise money for your next trip or project! All troops are invited to participate in this FUNdraising opportunity, even if you are not participating in the Run for the Cookies 5K or Fun Run. This fundraiser is a unique opportunity for your troop to earn some extra money! At the end of the fundraiser, GSGATL will send you 50% of the money raised on your troop fundraising page. You can use this money for meeting supplies, community service projects, troop trips, and any other activities you want to do throughout the year. We even created a guide with sample social media posts and graphics you can use to make it easy to reach your Go Getter goal!

Pro tip: As your troop spends time outdoors and trains to run in the 5K or Fun Run, be sure to take photos and videos that you can share with your friends and family. These are great things to share with the link to your troop fundraising page to ask people to donate and help you reach your goal!

Plus, you can also earn a badge by completing a list of activities and then running in our race!

If your Service Unit isn’t close to Roswell and North Fulton County, that’s okay!

  • Troops can sign up to participate in the Run for the Cookies virtually
  • Troops do not have to participate in the race to join the Go-Getter Challenge. They will just need to adapt their storytelling to another goal for their troop like planning a trip or completing a service project.
