  Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a fun program for girls grades 3rd thru 6th that teaches pre-teen girl

  about positive self images, being a good friend, avoiding bullying and much more. It promotes

  healthy living inside and out.

Would you like to be a GOTR coach?

Coaches work directly with the 3rd through 6th grade girls. They lead the girls through the Girls on the Run lessons, teaching them healthy habits and preparing them for the big 3.1 mile race! Everything you need to know is contained in the GOTR training manual with easy and fun weekly lessons.

Our program meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-4:00 p.m. The program is offered in the spring for 8 weeks, ending with the Wondergirl 5k at the lake front in June.
