Girls On The Run (GOTR) is a 10-week program that incorporates training for a 5k event as a means to teach essential life skills to our 3^rd – 5^th grade girls. There are two seasons (fall and spring) in which the program occurs, each culminating with a 5k event, which provides the opportunity for the girls to achieve their goal and celebrate their accomplishment.

Each of the 20 lessons in the research-based curriculum stresses the importance of being a well-balanced, healthy person. The lessons are designed to:

• develop the girls emotionally, mentally, socially, spiritually and physically
• encourage independent thinking
• increase problem solving skills
• encourage teamwork
• build community
