Girls on the Run registration

Girls on the Run North GA Fall 2017 registration will open on May 1, 2017 @ 7:30 AM. Please plan on registering early as many of our sites fill up quickly.

Registration for Girls on the Run fall 2017 is open! Our program is open to girls ages 8 to 13. Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a positive youth development program, which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Since its inception in 2005, Girls on the Run North GA has helped thousands of young women live healthier, more productive lives.
The true success of the program, however, is not told in the numbers, but rather in the words of the girls who participate. “Girls on the Run made me realize that I am the boss of my brain.” “I know that whatever I set my mind to do, I can do.” “At Girls on the Run I learned how to be comfortable in my own skin!”
The core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development - their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and to avoid risky adolescent behaviors.

The twelve-week season of GOTR will be held at various schools and parks throughout Forsyth County. The program is set to begin on August 28, 2017 and will conclude on November 11, 2017, with a celebratory 5k run. For more information, or for registration visit us at www.girlsontherunnorthga.org or call or text us at 404-667-4101.
Volunteers needed!
Serving as a GOTR volunteer is one of the most rewarding ways to get involved with Girls on the Run. Our volunteers lead their teams through the Girls on the Run-developed curriculum, stretching and running activities, and training for the end-of-season 5K event. You do not need to be a runner or a competitive athlete. Successful coaches need only serve as a role model for girls by showing up prepared and on time, listening attentively, and by demonstrating a positive attitude!
