Dear Girls on the Run Caregivers,

Our Fall 2023 season is well underway and our participants have been consistently growing individually and as a team! We hope you are seeing positive changes in your Girl on the Run – we definitely have!

PRACTICE 5K

The teams are hopping, skipping, jumping, and running their way to the end-of-season 5K. As a matter of fact, the teams will be hosting their practice 5K very soon. This is a great opportunity to join in the fun— be it running, passing out water, or simply being at the finish line to cheer all the girls on. Check in with your coaches and see when the practice 5K will be and how they can use your help!

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT

As the season progresses, teams will learn how all of our individual and collective strengths can help a larger group and how to positively influence and make a difference in their various communities. The upcoming lessons will lead up to the Community Impact Project. The girls will discuss compromise and cooperation, and how they can use these two concepts to choose an idea for this big project.

END OF SEASON 5K DETAILS

By now, you have probably already heard your participant talk about the end of season 5K. At the end of the season, teams participate in a joyful, fun, non-competitive 5K. This is the culmination of the program and gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment, recognizing their inner strengths and celebrating what makes each one of them unique!

As a friendly reminder, all GOTR participants are already registered for the race, but you will have to sign up if you would like to run in the 5K!  ALL runners on the course must have a bib number.
