Our Program

Thank you for your interest in Girls on the Run!

Our Spring 2025 season is underway! Registration for the Fall 2025 season will open on July 21, 2025.

We focus on the whole girl
Meeting in small teams or connecting virtually, trained volunteer coaches inspire girls to build confidence and other important life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activity.

The research-based curriculum includes three parts:

Understanding ourselves

Valuing relationships and teamwork

Recognizing how we can shape the world at large

My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl is already a skilled runner. Is this program for her?

Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving foward!

We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the scholarship program work?

Don't let cost stop you from participating! We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all who want to participate! Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships are available to any family who needs it, and we can also provide appropriate running shoes and attire if necessary. Please contact Camille, Program Manager, at 316-749-8090 if you cannot pay the registration fee. 

When does the summer camp begin?

We will offer one GOTR camp session. Camp will run from August 4, 2025-August 8, 2025 from 8am-12pm. More info can be found at https://www.girlsontherunks.org/camp-program-details

Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.

Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?

Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than $30,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Click here to sponsor a participant this season.
