LIVE RACE UPDATE: With COVID-19 infection rates showing a dramatic increase in recent weeks and so much uncertainty for the immediate future, we have made the difficult, but necessary, decision to cancel the live option for the Thin Mint Sprint, Tagalong Trot and Samoa Challenge on January 9 at the Safety Harbor Marina.
We will still hold the virtual event as described below.
We appreciate everyone who registered and we share your
disappointment. Please know that our top priority is the health and
safety of not only those who attend our events and their families, but
the communities we serve.
Those who have already
registered for one of the live races will receive a separate email
with instructions on how to select one of the following options:
- Transfer to the virtual race
- Receive a full refund
- Donate your registration fee to the council
We thank everyone for their involvement with this annual fundraiser
that provides support to Girl Scout programming and opportunities for
thousands of families throughout our region. We look forward to seeing
everyone posting their virtual run photos and sharing their
times.
In early December, we will be following up with
all virtual runners with details on packet pickup dates and locations
along with providing instructions for those who wish to have their
packets shipped directly to them (fees apply).
If you
have questions or concerns, please contact Denise Pare.
Join Girl Scouts of West Central Florida for our eighth annual Thin
Mint Sprint, Tagalong Trot, and Samoa Challenge. Now in
January! When you register to run, your entry supports the
development of critical skills and offers life-changing experiences to

between January 9 and 31, 2021, you can post your race times and
photos to a Girl Scouts of West Central Florida social media account
and be entered into a drawing to win* a Girl Scout Cookie Prize
Pack.
All registrants will receive a T-shirt and race
bib. All registered Girl Scouts grades K-12 will receive a free patch.
Participants who registered by November 15, 2020 will receive a medal
with their packet! Race packets (race bib, T-shirt, and medal,
if applicable) will be available for pick up before January 9, 2021 at
multiple locations (TBD) or can be shipped directly (fees
apply).
