Girls on the Run & STRIDE

Girls on the Run and STRIDE is an innovative health education and wellness program combining the power of running with life-changing self esteem and character-enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle in young boys and girls.

Thank you to our Title Sponsor, EmergeOrtho for over 15 years of support for this race and these programs! Over 40% of our Girls on the Run & STRIDE participants utilize financial assistance and we couldn't support those families without the help of our sponsors. 

 

PLEASE READ:
Girls on the Run, STRIDE participants and coaches do not need to register for 5k. Participants are already registered with program registration. Please visit www.ymcasenc.org/gotrstride for more information on our GOTR / STRIDE programs or other GOTR/STRIDE 5k races.
