5K COMPLETES GIRLS ON THE RUN FALL SEASON
400 girls completed a 5K run on November18 at Reno High School to wrap the 2023 fall season for Girls On The Run (GOTR) https://www.girlsontherunsierras.org/ Reno Centennial Sunset Rotary (RCS) club members joined more than 200 volunteers to help make the event a huge success. A light rain and cool morning did not dampen the spirits of the 400 and their families as they circled the track and ran on nearby streets, cheered on by volunteers like RCS President Tom Keller.
GOTR seeks to help girls build confidence and create positive relationships through mentoring, physical activity, worthwhile projects and connection. With programs for Grades 3-5 and 6-8, GOTR develops a sense of responsibility and giving back. And these girls can think big - as one GOTR staffer said when projects were being discussed there were girls who would say “Let’s clean up Lake Tahoe!” “Let’s clean up the forest!”.
Adult coaches are critical to the GOTR program. Applications for the 2024 spring season - April through June - will be accepted through mid December. See the GOTR Sierras website above for more information. Since its launch in 2007, GOTR Sierras has worked with than 5500 local girls to help them connect with their inner strength and each other.
