Girls On The Run (GOTR)

Our Girls On The Run Program, is a is a life changing program for girls between the ages of 8 and 13 years old that promotes girl empowerment by teaching life skills through lessons and running.  This program is mainly focused on running, but we work on many other activities that will motivate and help empower these young ladies.

At Girls on the Run Capital Region, teaching critical life skills is the cornerstone of their research-based programs.  Meeting in small teams, trained volunteer coaches inspire girls of all abilities to strengthen confidence and other important life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activity. It inspires girls of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths, while building a sense of connection in a team setting. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development to enable girls to adapt to whatever comes their way. At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.  Click to view Program Details
