Welcome to
Girls on the Run
of Catawba Valley
Girls on the Run is an after-school running program for girls in 3rd through 8th grade to help build self esteem.
We are dedicated to educating and building confidence in young girls by providing quality running programs. Our program combines training for a one-mile or 5K running race with uplifting workouts that encourage emotional, social, mental and physical development. We are not a typical track program as our curriculum contains 20 fun, active lessons dealing with issues such as drugs and alcohol, media images, gossiping, physical health, emotional health, cooperation and community. At the end of the 10-weeks the girls complete their first ever one-mile or 5K distance.
About GOTR
Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. Our curricula address all aspects of girls' development - their physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being.
Objectives
The Girls on the Run objective is to reduce the potential display of at-risk activities among its participants. The goal is fewer adolescent pregnancies and eating disorders, less depression and fewer suicide attempts, as well as fewer substance/alcohol abuse problems and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.
