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.

Every GOTR girl’s journey post-season is unique and filled with meaningful life lessons, discoveries, and experiences. For these five women, after participating in or supporting Girls on the Run, their paths – filled with endless hours of hard work – led to the same destination: the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Their journeys from local 5Ks to the world’s biggest stage show the power of determination and the importance of building confidence in girls. We couldn’t be prouder of these all-star athletes who fully embrace our core values and inspire future GOTR superstars everywhere to chase their dreams. Learn more about the fabulous five in our new blog! https://lnkd.in/g9r4c8ib #Olympics #ParisOlympics #Paris2024
