My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl is already a skilled runner. Is this program for her?

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!

When does the season begin?

The Spring 2024 season will begin the week of March 17th. The GOTR 5K event will be held on Saturday, May 17th. Teams will meet for one final celebration practice on either May 19th or May 20th. 

Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! The Girls on the Run curriculum builds upon itself from lesson to lesson. Girls must be able to attend both practices each week for the full 90 minutes. Regular attendance helps your girl to get the most out of the program, be physically and mentally ready for the end of season 5K, and establish important team dynamics.
