Girls on the Run

GOTR (www.girlsontherun.org) is a non-profit prevention program that encourages girls in 3rd to 8th grades to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles. The program combines training for a 5K fun run with healthy living education and is taught by trained volunteer coaches. All aspects of girls' development are addressed - their physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being - through running games and interactive activities.

The Austin chapter of Girls on the Run was born in 2008. While there are more than 120 councils nationwide, there are only two in Texas, DFW and Houston, and we're very excited to add Austin to the list. In 2008, the Austin chapter needs your help to:

  • Train 4 coaches for our first year
  • Purchase the GOTR curriculum
  • Secure supplies for the girls (snacks, t-shirts)
  • Register each girl for a 5K run
