🍀 Know a coach who deserves some GOTR LOVE? 💚

These Clover messages are just a few of the wonderful shout-outs we've received for our Girls on the Run coaches so far this season. And we know there are SO many more stories to share!

Our coaches show up week after week to encourage, inspire, cheer on, and believe in our girls. Now it's our turn to show them some love!

Let's FILL our Clover Patches at our upcoming 5K Celebrations!

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, fellow coach, or community member, we want to hear about a coach who's making a difference. A few kind words can mean so much!

🍀 Submit a Clover today using the link in our bio or visit https://forms.gle/LJXPMpPJ9gaH4nGx8

We'll make sure your coach receives the recognition they deserve and can find their Clover in the Clover Patch at our November 5Ks.

Our Thomas Jefferson and Joyce Kilmer teams from Trenton got a sneak peek at our SOUTH 5K course yesterday in beautiful Cadwalader Park!

With the fall colors at their peak, these girls rocked their Practice 5Ks, cheered each other on, and proved they're ready for the BIG celebration on November 14!

BRAVO, girls! 👏 We can't wait to see you back at Cadwalader Park for your victory lap! 🌟

Thanks to supporters like you, more girls in New Jersey had the opportunity to become more joyful, healthy, and confident this year. Every practice, every lesson, and every impactful conversation happened because you chose to invest in their limitless potential.

None of this would be possible without you, so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Good friendships don't just happen. We build them.

Middle school is a time of big changes, new challenges, and figuring out where you belong. And having people in your corner can make all the difference!

Through Heart & Sole, our middle school program, girls are learning what it means to build healthy friendships, communicate with confidence, support one another, and stay true to themselves.

The skills they're practicing today go far beyond middle school. They're tools for navigating friendships, challenges, and relationships for years to come. 💗

🍀 WE'RE LUCKY! 🍀

And we know it! We have some pretty amazing coaches leading our teams of Bold Hearts this fall, and we LOVE seeing them celebrate each other!

Today we're sharing a little coach-to-coach love from Morris County, where Coach Sam gave a Clover to her co-coach Olivia! How lucky are those girls to have BOTH of these amazing women cheering them on?!

And here's your reminder that ANYONE can give a Clover! Maybe you're a caregiver whose child has been inspired by a coach, a co-coach who wants to celebrate a teammate, or a community member who knows a coach making a difference.

Let's PACK our Clover Patches at our November 5K Celebrations with love for the coaches who make GOTR so special! 🍀💚

Give a Clover today! Link in bio.
