Girls on the Run International

Girls on the Run International We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum.

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.

A GOTR coach wears many hats: lesson leader, listening ear, and shoe tyer. But most importantly, every Girls on the Run coach is there to support and encourage girls and make a lasting impact on their lives. Does that sound like you?

The sky’s the limit for these GOTR girls! ✈️ Our friends at United welcomed teams from Girls on the Run NJ East, Girls on the Run Puget Sound, and Girls on the Run Central Florida to airports across the country in honor of Girls in Aviation Day. They learned about different careers in aviation and heard from the women doing those jobs today. Thanks to United for helping girls look toward the future and imagine where they might go next!

Girls on the Run coaches listen, encourage, and create connection and belonging for the members of their team. This World Gratitude Day, we’re especially grateful for our coaches who create spaces where girls can be themselves, build meaningful connections, and discover what they’re capable of. Those experiences and lessons stick with them long after they cross the finish line. Tag a GOTR coach you’re grateful for in the comments!

What a celebration! This week, our Girls on the Run community celebrated from coast to coast, and we loved seeing your photos, memories, and birthday wishes along the way.

Our Girls on the Run International team had the chance to celebrate together, too. When we think about 30 years of Girls on the Run, we don’t just think about milestones. We think about people: girls finding their confidence, coaches believing in them, teammates becoming friends, and communities showing up season after season.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and to every person who has been part of the Girls on the Run story. Here’s to what comes next! 🎉

Every movement has a starting line, and ours took us from 13 girls to more than 2.8 million! That growth wouldn’t have been possible without the participants, alumni, coaches, volunteers, families, and partners who have supported and championed Girls on the Run for the last 30 years. Our next goal? 3 million GOTR girls! Find your local council to get involved and help us get there: https://www.girlsontherun.org/connect-locally/
