Girls on the Run (GOTR) offers programming designed for all girls to build confidence, increase their level of physical activity, and learn essential life skills. Our research-based curriculum creatively combines movement with confidence-building lessons and activities, providing an after-school program for 3rd through 8th grade girls. With programming that inspires girls of all backgrounds and abilities to recognize their individual strengths, participants build connection and community in a welcoming team setting. They explore topics including emotions, expressing empathy, and standing up for themself and others all while being in a safe and judge-free space with their peers. Their season culminates with a 5K celebration, where girls experience confidence and unstoppable strength as they cross the finish line. All Girls on the Run 5K participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, their Happy Pace.  

Girls on the Run has empowered more than 2.5 million girls from coast to coast. Our programs inspire and empower girls to build healthy physical and mental behaviors that last long beyond the program.

In partnership with Team Milk, Girls on the Run is honored to serve as a Charity Partner of the 2025 Every Woman’s Marathon! Together with Team Milk, Girls on the Run is paving the way for future generations of female marathon runners, with a shared goal of making it possible for more women to experience the sense of confidence through accomplishment and community that comes from completing a marathon!
