![]() Welcome to Girls on the Run Salt Lake County! Our mission is “to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.” Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a non-profit prevention program that uses the power of running to help preteen girls in 3rd through 8th grade develop self-respect and value a healthy lifestyle. Our curricula address the development of the ‘whole’ girl – her physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being.
Girls on the Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) running event with healthy living education. Our programs instill self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training – all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community.
GOTR Salt Lake County is a community collaboration and is funded by fees, donations and grants. We rely entirely on the generosity and support of local individuals, businesses and organizations. Without the support of the Salt Lake County area, GOTR Salt Lake County would not exist. We thank you all!
GOTR Salt Lake County is an affiliate of Girls on the Run International www.girlsontherun.org, which has a network of over 140 Girls on the Run Councils www.girlsontherun.org/gotrlocations.html in the United States and Canada.
