Girls on the Run St. Louis

February 2014

Empowering girls for a lifetime
of healthy living.

Spring season starts next week with over 3500 girls registered and 175 sites participating. Over 1100 volunteer coaches make Girls on the Run St. Louis' programs possible!

The Girls on the Run (GOTR) and Girls on Track (GOT) programs would not be possible without the volunteers who generously donate their time and talent. Volunteer coaches lead the girls through fun and active lessons while helping them prepare for the Girls on the Run 5k event at the end of the season. 325 new volunteer coaches attended training in January. Training included sample GOTR and GOT lessons as well as logistics on facilitating the program. We are so excited that even more girls in the St. Louis region will get to experience the power of the Girls on the Run program!

We hope to see you this spring 2014 season!
