About the Charity

The CDC reports that, since the pandemic, almost 60% of girls nationwide experience persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. GOTR combines running with social-emotional learning, giving girls in grades 3-8 the space to share their experiences, connect with peers and adult mentors, and see themselves as powerful forces for good. Meeting twice a week for ten weeks, they explore their emotions and build self-confidence in small groups with volunteer coaches. To ensure that every girl who wants to participate can, GOTR supplies running shoes, communicates in English and Spanish, offers accessibility support for girls with disabilities, and provides some 35% of its participants with financial assistance. Since its first season, almost 50,000 girls have crossed the 5K finish line (the program�s celebratory milestone), showing themselves how much they can accomplish.
