GIRLS ON THE RUN has two more spots to fill for the spring session. Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a national organization that combines a developmentally focused curriculum with the power of running in order “to inspire, educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect, positive relationships and healthy active living.”.  In a series of bi-weekly, after-school practice sessions, trained female coaches instruct 3^rd through 8^th grade girls in research-based lessons designed to improve physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being.  Simultaneously, participants are taught the importance of goal setting while training for a 5k (3.1 mile) race, which they complete at the conclusion of the season with the support and encouragement of a volunteer Running Buddy/mentor.

Registration application can be obtained by contacting Program Director Charis Durden, 706-669-2049. This season practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday (excluding school holidays) starting on February 8^th, 4 pm-5:30.
