Girls on the Run is a national not-for-profit organization which combines training for a 5K with an interactive curriculum to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. The Girls on the Run curriculum addresses many aspects of girls' development - their physical, emotional, metal, and social well-being. Over a 12-week season, GOTR trained volunteer coaches deliver a curriculum that teaches life skills through group processing, running games, and workouts. At each season's conclusion, the girls complete a 5K running event as a group within the community. In 2011, GOTR served over 120,000 girls in over 200 cities across North America - and is now coming to Philadelphia in 2013!
