Girls on the Run is an after-school program designed for 3rd-5th grade girls. Despite the name, your daughter does not need to be a runner to participate! 

The program is designed to encourage girls to use running/physical activity as a means of empowerment and motivation. GOTR is so much more than a running program; it is a youth development program which helps empower girls. 

Practices include curriculum-based discussions on topics designed to boost self-esteem as well as games to encourage physical activity. We start from the absolute basics of walking/running and work our way up to a 5K run by the end of the season. The culminating event at the end of each season is the Girls on the Run St. Louis 5k in downtown St. Louis to celebrate the girls’ accomplishments. This season’s 5k is on May 12.

There is a program fee of $125 which includes 20 lessons conducted by trained Girls on the Run coaches, Girls on the Run program T-shirt, registration for the Girls on the Run St. Louis 5k, a water bottle, and a healthy snack at each practice. Payment plans, scholarships, and sibling discounts are available. 

Practices are held at Hudson from 3:00-4:30 on Tuesdays and  Thursdays.
