Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a unique 10 week (twice weekly) afterschool program led by trained
coaches that guides girls through a fun, uplifting, and proven curriculum.
Through dynamic
conversation-based lessons and active games, coaches teach and model essential healthy living
skills. Some of the themes include making good friends, working in a group, resisting peer
pressure, making healthy decisions, and contributing to the community. Along the way, the
girls train together to walk or run in a 5K (3.1 mile) celebratory event with girls from other
Western Mass GOTR programs.
Girls on the Run is supported and reliant on volunteer coaches. We are looking
for volunteer coaches to make this program successful.Coaches do not need to be
runners! Crocker Farm has one coach volunteer already committed; we are
looking for 1-2 more to make this program a success.
The season begins the week of
March 14th and runs for 10 weeks, twice a week, Wed & Fri, 3-4:45 =
Cost for the 20 sessions is $150 & covers snack, t-shirt &
registration for a 5K race on June 5th at HCC. Partial & full
financial aid is available when you register.
