Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a life-changing, non-profit prevention program for girls ages 8 to 13. Hosted by the Marion County Public Health Department since 2000, our mission is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.

Girls on the Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) running event with healthy living education. Our programs instill self-esteem through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships and physical training – all of which are accomplished through active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and community.

Girls on the Run of Marion County is an affiliate council of Girls on the the Run International, which has a network of more than 150 locations across the United States and Canada.
