What IS Girls on the Run?
The first thing you should know is that GOTR is NOT simply a running program - in fact, participants are not required to run at all, just MOVE at their own pace! The curriculum is developed by educators and designed to build strong youth in body, mind and spirit through active lessons and physical movement. Whether kids are walking, running, hopping or skipping, they are doing it with a purpose - learning about self-talk, how to stand up for themselves and others, communicate their frustrations in a healthy way - all in a safe environment led by trained coaches who are also awesome role models. And for the Grand Finale of the 8-week season, ALL of the teams from Whatcom and Skagit Counties come together to complete a 5K and celebrate, building confidence through accomplishment.

It is important to us at the YMCA that ALL GIRLS have the chance to participate regardless of their family's financial background, we offer the program on a Sliding Scale Fee Structure so that no girl is turned away due to inability to pay - no questions asked.

Here is a short video that gives a little insight about the program.
