Your journey began here, and your presence at this year's race will show our current participants what's possible when a girl finds her voice and her stride.

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a non-competitive after-school running program that includes social emotional life skills and lessons for girls in grades 3rd-8th. GOTR envisions a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams! This is made possible by AMAZING volunteer coaches that are there every step of the way for 10 weeks with their girls encouraging them and running alongside them so they can confidently cross the finish line at their End of the Season 5K!

We strive to make our program accessible to all girls no matter what their financial limitations may be. All proceeds from this race go towards our financial assistance to be able to cover the cost of any girls who wants to participate in Girls on the Run!
