After a full season of practice, participants in Sitka’s Girls on the Run program will close out the season with a 5k fun run next weekend. Fourth-graders Ila Kaminsky and Addison Graham, coordinator Katie Niedermeyer, and coach Anastasia Stefanowicz joined KCAW’s Brooke Schafer to discuss the upcoming animal party-themed fun run.
