The Girls on the Run 5K is the culminating activity to the GOTR program. The Girls on the Run program supports self-esteem, inner beauty and self confidence to mention a few major elements in young girls through sport, specifically running.
GOTR is a 12-week program in which young girls participate in fun group work and end with a running workout each and every class culminating in the 5K Run with the other chapters around the Greater Pittsburgh area.
