Despite the changes we are all experiencing right now, one thing remains constant - the commitment of Girls on the Run to the emotional and physical health and well-being of girls. While our fall season looks different, we are excited to offer a Virtual K Your Way. We encourage the Girls on the Run community to come together (virtually) to celebrate each and every girl in our program and her unstoppable strength, confidence, and resiliency.

Other ways to participate

No interest in running or walking the 5K? No problem! Complete a GOTR Physical Activity Card. These cards include fun physical activity challenges that celebrate the joy of movement and highlight some of the important lessons that girls learn throughout our program. Select whichever card appeals to you and aim to complete as many of the activities you can.

You can post encouragement for our girls and runners on social media with #GOTREI5k and we’ll share it to show your support or you can chalk your neighborhood or trail with GOTR messages! These are all great ways to spread GOTR joy and help our girls build confidence!

Packet Pickup

There will be no packet pickup; you'll receive everything you need via email!
