GOTR ( Girls on the Run ) Programs for kids

[Peanut]

Hello

I want you all to know about a program I will be assisant coaching in the spring here near Cortland NY.

My daughter in law is presently coaching one now in Montgomery County MD.

It is called Girls on the Run. It is a marvelous program for girls age 8 to 13 that is done after school two days a week.

The kids get outdoors, talk about nutrition and self esteem and RUN. The grand finally for each session is a 5k and the girls each get there own adult "buddy runner".

If you are interested in this program to coach or assist or would like it in your local schools, you can google up GOTR or Girls on the Run and check to see if there are any programs in your area.
