Sneak Peak

Sneak Peak: 5K Celebration

Girls on the Run's lessons introduce physical activity as a way to boost your mood, relieve stress, feel strong, and gain confidence. Our non-competitive approach to exercise enables participants try running and walking without fear of judgement. At each session, our coaches help girls set 'lap goals' - and encourage them to incremently increase their laps. It's never about speed or winning; it's about supporting your team mates in trying new things.  At the end of each season, all of our teams come together for a 5K Celebration, where they complete 3.1 miles at their pace surrounded by family, friends, teachers, and community members. The 5K gives the girls a tangible sense of accomplishment, showing them they have limitless potential.

Registration Fees

Building confidence and setting young girls down the path of a healthy lifestyle is PRICELESS! However, there are real costs associated with operating a non-profit organization and delivering the Girls on the Run program to over 1600 girls in the Memphis area each year. Registration is $175 per girl and includes:*

  • 20 ninety-minute sessions conducted by certified GOTR volunteer coaches
  • Curriculum and lesson materials
  • A healthy snack at each session
  • Official GOTR T-shirt, water bottle, and cinch bag
  • 5K Registration fee
  • 5K t-shirt, medal, and race swag bag

Due to generous sponsors, many of our Title 1 program sites offer their families a significantly reduced program fee. Please check with your principal or site director for more information, or call the Girls on the Run Memphis office at 901-848-0054 with any questions.

Ma fille n’est pas une grande coureuse. Est-ce que ce programme lui conviendra? OU Ma fille est déjà une coureuse expérimentée. Est-ce que ce programme lui conviendra?

My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl is already a skilled runner. Is this program for her?

Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving forward!

What does the program fee include?

Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials, including GOTR curriculum, activity sheets, lap counters and more, a GOTR t-shirt, a GOTR cinch sack, entry into the season-ending 5K, a finisher's medal, a GOTR water bottle and a healthy snack at every practice.

We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the scholarship program work?

Don't let cost stop you from participating! We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all who want to particpate! Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships are available to any family who needs it, and we can also provide appropriate running shoes and attire if necessary. The online registration form will walk you through a few questions to find the fee that is right for your family based on a sliding scale.

When does the 10-week season begin?

Practices will begin the week of February 16th (not Presidents' Day) unless otherwise noted. The culminating event will be the 5K on Sunday, May 3rd at 2 pm at the University of Memphis. The season concludes with final lessons the week after the 5K. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches once the season begins.

Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.

Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?

Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than $30,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Click here to sponsor a participant this season.
