Girls on the Run (GOTR) is an after-school program for girls in 3rd-5th grades which educates and prepares girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
GOTR helps provide girls with the tools necessary to make healthy decisions and the knowledge to lead healthy lifestyles. Girls on the Run lessons use running as a tool to teach girls about physical, emotional, mental and social health.

The 10 week curriculum offers lessons that specifically address some of the issues that will arise during elementary school. Teams of 8-15 girls will engage in in-depth, age appropriate discussions regarding topics such as bullying and gossiping, making healthy choices, keeping promises and self-confidence to name a few. Teams meet twice a week at their school with their trained, volunteer coaches to play games, complete projects and use the power of running to learn about themselves and others! The program ends with the girls completing a non-competitive celebration 5K at the end of May!
NOTE: Girls on the Run Practice at Georgetown Elementary will be on Tuesday’s and Friday’s after school.
