Girls on The Run Needs YOU ~ Join GOTR As a Coach this Fall

By Girls on the Run Fort Mill July 12, 2021

Empower Girls to Change the World

  • As a Girls on the Run Coach, you’ll help girls: 
  • Accept themselves and others
  • Stand up to bullies
  • Develop a positive self-image
  • Make healthier choices
  • Confidently chase their dreams
  • Change the world



Girls on the Run is a life-changing program for girls in 3rd through 5th grade. The program combines self-esteem-enhancing workouts that encourage positive emotional, social, and physical development with training for the GOTR 5k Run/Walk. Crossing the finish line is a defining moment when girls realize that the seemingly impossible IS possible!

Girls on the Run coaches do not have to be runners themselves; the only requirements are enthusiasm and commitment to the healthy development of young girls and themselves. Over the course of 8-weeks, you’ll meet twice a week for 90 minutes with girls in 3rd through 5th grade. 

Our scripted curriculum will guide you through each lesson, and everything you need is provided for you in your coaching backpack.

Our Fall 2021 season will start September 27th and we are currently recruiting coaches. To learn more about this amazing opportunity please visit our website or contact Jennifer Thorsell at (803) 620-3036 or email at Jennifer.Thorsell@girlsontherun.org.
