We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, evidence-based curriculum that incorporates movement.
About us
Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. Girls on the Run International (GOTRI) is the parent organization of more than 200 Girls on the Run councils across the United States and Canada. GOTRI establishes, trains and supports a network of community-level councils with local volunteers. The volunteers serve as role models to the girls through coaching the 10-week, 20 lesson curricula. The curriculum is delivered in these areas through after-school programs, recreation centers and other non-profit settings. Mission: We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Vision: We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Be kind to your mind today, tomorrow, and all the time! Today, on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminding everyone that their mind is their most valuable asset and should be nurtured as such. Use this day to both reflect internally and check in on your friends and family. You never know who may be struggling in silence. When we break the silence, we break the stigma. This World Mental Health Day let’s be a part of the solution! #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare #GirlsOnTheRun #GirlEmpowerment
