Girls on the Run

Welcome to Girls on the Run of the Tri-Cities-- a life-changing,

non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 8th grade.

Our mission is “to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.”

Girls on the Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) running event with healthy living education. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games, and discussing important issues, participants in the 10-week program learn how to celebrate their unique and real selves. Our program instills self-esteem through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training—all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community. The program utilizes a whole-person approach to elevate emotional, social, mental and physical health.

Girls on the Run of the Tri-Cities is an Affiliate/Independent Council of Girls on the Run International. GOTR International has a network of 170 locations in 43 states which plan to serve over 99,000 girls in 2011 across the United States and Canada.
