Girls on the Run

Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving foward!

Though our cost per particpant is $220, through generous donors we're able to offer the 10-week, 20-lesson program for $1175. Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials, including GOTR curriculum, activity sheets, lap counters and more, a GOTR t-shirt, a bib entry into the season-ending 5K, a finisher's medal, a GOTR water bottle and a healthy snack at every practice.

Don't let cost stop you from participating! We'd love to have your daughter involved and we are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all girls. Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships and financial aid are available to any girl who needs it, and we can also provide running shoes  to girls in need. The online registration form will walk you through a few questions to find the fee that is right for your family. A pay-what-you-can option will be presented on the final checkout page of the registration form. Approvals will be made within the registration and no additional paperwork is required.  Every girl will receive the same program inclusions regardless of how much her family contributed toward the program fee.

Financial aid and scholarships are provided in the following ways:

-financial aid based on eligibility free and reduced lunch
-payment plans (option to choose two or three)
-the option to select a final price that makes sense for your family’s financial situation

Practices will begin in late August. The culminating event will be the 5K on Saturday, November 5. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches once the season begins.

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.

Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than $20,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Donate here to sponsor a girl.

Las niñas se reúnen dos veces por semana después de la escuela. El plan de estudios es impartido por entrenadores certificados de Girls on the Run y ​​cada sesión se enfoca en un tema específico relacionado.

Por lo general, las niñas se reúnen inmediatamente después de la escuela y toman un refrigerio saludable mientras se les presenta el tema del día, como la belleza interior, la elección de amigos o la comunicación de emociones. Se calentarán con un breve juego interactivo y discutirán cómo se relaciona el juego con el tema del día. Luego, las niñas corren vueltas, a menudo incorporando actividades o tareas breves que se relacionan con el tema del día. Al final de la práctica, las chicas se juntan para estirarse, enfriarse y celebrar sus logros a través de premios energéticos. El foco no está en correr más rápido o en forma perfecta, sino en avanzar a tu propio "ritmo feliz".

A lo largo del programa, las niñas desarrollarán y mejorarán su competencia, sentirán confianza en sí mismas, desarrollarán fortaleza de carácter, responderán a los demás y a sí mismas con cuidado y compasión, crearán conexiones positivas con sus compañeros y adultos, y harán una contribución significativa a la comunidad y sociedad.

Girls on the Run is an inclusive program where the dignity of every participant is respected, and all youth are safe. If a child identifies as a girl, and the parent/guardian identifies the child as a girl, then the child is welcome to participate in Girls on the Run. Students who identify as non-binary, gender-fluid or gender-expansive and are interested in Girls on the Run are welcome!
