FAQ

My child isn't a big runner; is this program for them? OR My child is already a skilled runner. Is this program for them?

Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving foward!

What does the program fee include?

Though our cost per particpant is $400, through generous donors and sponsorships we're able to offer the 10 week, Girls on the Run & Heart & Sole program for $160. Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials in the research-based curriculum, activity sheets and journal, a program t-shirt, water bottle, healthy snack at every practice, shoes (if needed), sports bra (if needed), athletic hijab (if needed), registration for the Celebration 5k, finishers 5k medal, all 5k refreshments, and a 5k commemorative item (shirt or hat).

Who can participate in Girls on the Run?

Girls on the Run is open to girls in grades 3-5. As our gender policy states, we strive to create an inclusive environment for all participants and we warmly welcome those who identify as girls, and non-binary youth to participate in Girls on the Run programming.

We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the scholarship program work?

Don't let cost stop you from participating! We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all who want to particpate! Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships are available to any family who needs it, and we can also provide appropriate running shoes and attire if necessary. The online registration form will walk you through a few questions to find the fee that is right for your family based on a sliding scale.

When does the 10-week season begin?

Practices will begin the week of September, 11 2023. The culminating Celebration 5k event will be the 5K on Saturday, November 11, 2023. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your child's coaches once the season begins.

Do kids need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your child will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a child who can, and consider joining us in a future season when they can enjoy the entire program. Our attendance policy states that participants can miss only up to 4 practices. We ask that all families sign and acknowledge this policy before signing their child up to participate.

Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?

Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than $27,000 in program scholarships. On average, over 37% of our participants receive partial or full financial assistance. Click here to sponsor a participant this season.
