FAQ

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 foward!

What does the program fee include?

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

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