Unstoppable Us is a girl-led fundraising program that provides financial assistance so more girls can join our teams and experience the life-changing impact of Girls on the Run. Participation is optional and allows participants to share what they have learned in our program and increase awareness about our program. Participants are among our most enthusiastic advocates since they experience the benefits of our program firsthand: new friendships, increased confidence, and an understanding of their influence on the community and world around them. Hear what a few of our Girls on the Run coaches have to say about this fundraiser so far!

A Practice 5K is a chance for our program participants to get a taste of what the real end-of-season 5K will be like in a less crowded and more familiar environment. Coaches and Team Managers really rise to the occasion when it comes to making the Practice 5K feel extra special. Read on to hear from one coach about how she makes this integral program component an exciting accomplishment for her team and learn how you can get in on the fun!

The Girls on the Run Memphis 5K on May 4th isn’t just a great way to get active for a good cause–it’s also a party! From 12:30PM to race start at 2PM, program participants, their families, runners, walkers, volunteers, and community champions alike are all encouraged to come celebrate girl power at our Pre-Race Fun Zone, right on the University of Memphis Alumni Mall. Read on to learn all about our special guests and activity stations for the big day!

GOTR Memphis is excited to launch the peer-to-peer fundraising campaign Unstoppable Us for the first time ever this spring. Unstoppable Us is a completely optional, non-competitive campaign that empowers our program participants to join us in our promise to keep Girls on the Run accessible to all folks in the 901, regardless of ability to pay. Girls who raise over $100 will earn special GOTR capes for 5K day!

Girls on the Run’s biggest event of the Fall/Spring is the GOTR 5K at the conclusion of each season. There are many physical, emotional, and mental benefits of running a 5K that each person can take away. Each response is unique in its own way but inspiration, confidence, and joy radiates out of each separate individual's response. Keep reading to learn more about why you should sign up for the GOTR Memphis 5K on May 4th and celebrate girl power with the 901!

Girls on the Run Memphis is thrilled to welcome Molly Barker to the 901 ahead of our Empowered Giving Circle fundraising event March 30th! Molly will be speaking about her incredible journey and how she overcame the challenges in her way on Sunday, March 30th at the Annesdale Mansion. While the event is free to attend, it serves as a fundraiser and information session for the GOTR Memphis Empowered Giving Circle, a group of community champions that make a significant annual or monthly contribution to GOTR Memphis. 

Girls on the Run Memphis helps girls in the 901 and across Shelby County recognize their potential and rise above limiting gender expectations. We are so privileged to announce three new sites that have started this spring: St. Mary’s Episcopal School, LaGrange-Moscow Elementary, and Freedom Prep Millbranch. How exciting! With each new site, more girls will be a part of the program and–more importantly–our GOTR family.

Join us on May 4th for an afternoon of empowerment, whole-body wellness, and girl power celebrations!
