Because I was a charity runner, I was running for something bigger than myself.
And that’s the thing that kept me going.
And that’s the thing that drove me to that finish line.
Jill Eid, Executive Director, Girls On The Run Chicago
Girls On The Run is a program that empowers the next generation of women by using the power of running.
Elementary and middle school-aged girls learn physical and social-emotional skills that help them face challenges as they grow up.
The GOTR curriculum is research-based that focuses on the developmental milestones appropriate for the ages of each program; Girls On the Run (grades three through five) and Heart & Sole (grades six through eight).
