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.

We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the financial assistance work?

Girls on the Run North Bay fosters an inclusive environment and offers the opportunity for all to participate, regardless of financial situation, ethnicity or body type. We want this uplifting empowerment program to be accessible to all. Registration fee is depending on financial need. If you need financial assistance, simply select financial payment amount based on your financial status. That's it!

When does the 8-week season begin?

Program starts the week of March 10th. The 5K will be on Sunday, May 11 for all participants. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches once the season begins. The group takes a break during your school's spring break.

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

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.

Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?

Yes! We are a small non-profit, 501(c)3, Girls on the Run North Bay relies on generous donors in order to support over 75% of families in financial need. Click here  to donate and empower a girl to be a leader who stands up for herself and others.
