Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run of Atlanta, Inc. is committed to helping young women, in grades 3-8, fulfill their potential by decreasing the percentage of at-risk activities and empowering a generation of self-aware girls who are tomorrow’s role models for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

The program lasts 12-weeks.  Participation is a 2-day a week commitment.  Do not register if you cannot attend both days.  Registration is open through the start of the program.

Due to insurance liability, programs at ALL School sites are closed to students who do not attend that school. Beginning in Spring 2012, Fulton County Public Schools will charge a facilities site fee for all extracurricular activities. Therefore, the program fees for Girls on the Run participants in Fulton County Public Schools will increase by $10 to cover a portion of this expense.  Financial aid is available to girls who qualify. The price includes race registration for Atlanta GOTR 5K on April 28th. 

Spring program starts the week of February 13th and runs through the week of May 6th.  End of season 5K is on Saturday April 28th, 8am – WestStride Running Store.

For additional locations: 

Third through fifth grade locations.

Sixth through eighth grade locations.
