Registration Now Open for Girl Scouts of Nassau County's Second Annual Thin Mint Sprint 5K Run and Family Fun 1-Mile Walk

Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) is excited to announce that registration is now open for its second annual Thin Mint Sprint 5K Run and Family Fun Walk, returning to Jones Beach State Park on Sunday, September 14, 2025. Open to the public, this family-friendly event will once again celebrate community, fitness, and fun—all in support of GSNC’s mission to ensure every girl has access to the Girl Scout Leadership experience.
“We’re thrilled to bring back Girl Scouts' sweetest event, our Thin Mint Sprint, for its second year,” said Rande Bynum, CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “This event is more than just a run/walk, it’s also a celebration of leadership, togetherness and the spirit of giving. Whether you are a Girl Scout or just a running enthusiast, we welcome everyone to join us and help support the next generation of changemakers.”
Proceeds from this event will support Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s mission to give girl’s access to life-changing experiences that inspire them to do BIG things. Last year’s inaugural event drew more than 550 participants from across Long Island.
