Girls on the Run Washington DC
GOTR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping girls stay out of the “girl box.” We use experiential learning programs, which combine training for a 5K (3.1 mile) race/walk event with curricula designed to promote good choices for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. GOTR of DC was “invented” in Charlotte, NC in 1996 by Molly Barker, MSW and 4 time Hawaii Ironman triathlete. Girls on the Run of DC is one of ninety programs across the country. In 2005, over 50,000 girls nationwide met twice a week for twelve weeks to run, to laugh, to learn and to look at the “girl box” issues they face everyday.
Girls on the Run DC was featured on NBC!
