About the Charity

Any girl can be a runner and all can benefit from the healthy, empowering experience of running � and racing toward a goal. Committed to inspiring pre-teen girls to respect themselves and their bodies, GOTR combines training for a 5K road race with uplifting workouts and team-building exercises at over 100 elementary and middle schools. Some 5,000 girls from diverse backgrounds join annually, 25% of whom are on free- or reduced-price lunch and cannot participate in most after-school activities because of the expense; for these young athletes, the program is offered at low to no cost (running shoes included). Committed to "full person" health, GOTR couples physical activity with prevention of high-risk behavior and promotion of self-esteem and body-size satisfaction � and each practice ends with encouragement and positive reinforcement from the all-volunteer coaching team. Let's cheer for these young athletes, all the way to the 5K finish line.
