  • Misión

    Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident with a curriculum that incorporates running. We know that physical activity and fitness can empower young girls to grow into strong, confident and healthy women. GOTR provides an uplifting and noncompetitive introduction to running and walking and what we hope will be a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. GOTR combines exercise, education and mentoring to promote character and confidence in young girls. GOTR uses the power of running and play to change the way girls see themselves and their opportunities. Innovative games and activities teach valuable lessons about teamwork, communication, goal-setting, positive thinking and perseverance. Participants train to run/walk a 5K as the culmination of the program. Crossing the finish line is an unforgettable and life-affirming experience for those involved.
