Girls on the run, is so much fun!
Registration Open Now!
Beginning in February, St Charles girls grades 3rd, 4th and 5th will begin Girls on the Run (GOTR). Girls on the Run is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

The impact of Girls on the Run has shown that by participating, girls are transforming their lives by becoming more confident and are unstoppable. GOTR is much more than just running, GOTR encourages girls to recognize their power and responsibility to be intentional in decision making, embrace our differences and find strengths in connecting, as well as express joy, optimism and gratitude through words, thoughts, and actions. Is your daughter interested in training for the next sport AND joining a tribe of girls who want to be leaders and do for their community?
