Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Girls on the Run! We are ecstatic to have your child join us!
At Girls on the Run, we inspire girls to be confident, empowered individuals through an engaging, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Over the next couple of months, your child will grow in confidence, compassion, and positive connections with their peers and community. Our intentional curriculum helps girls develop and enhance their social, emotional, and physical skills to successfully navigate all kinds of life experiences.
The program starts the week of March 4th. Before the first day of practice, you should receive a letter from your site coordinator confirming the days of the week, time, and location to meet. You will also receive an introduction to the team’s coaches and be provided with their contact information. Check our locations page to find your site coordinator contact information, if needed.
Your child should come prepared to move at each session. Teams will try to practice outside, weather permitting, so pack layers (hat, gloves, sunscreen as needed) and, of course, shoes that are comfortable and appropriate for running. Please send a snack and water bottle as well!
Throughout the season, we will communicate specific information though Parent Scoop emails which we will send periodically. Your site coordinator and coaches should be able to answer any questions, but always feel free to reach out to us directly. We are happy to help!
At the conclusion of the program, all participants will complete a 5k event with their teammates and coaches. We are planning on holding three different partner 5K’s with Girls on the Run across the Front Range including Fort Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs.
All Girls on the Run program participants are already registered for the 5K. We invite family, friends, and neighbors to run the 5K alongside their girl(s) by registering for the race. Train along with your GOTR girl using our Girls on the Run 5K Training Guide!
Not sure which 5K your team is running? Be sure to confirm with your Site Coordinator before registering! These are 3rd party partner races and Girls on the Run is not able to refund or transfer registrations.
We always say that the finish line is just the beginning! We hope the skills gained through the Girls on the Run program will be with all of our participants for many years to come.
Have a wonderful season and we will be in touch!
