Girls on the Run

CGE is looking for volunteer coaches for the Girls on the Run program. 

Girls on the Run is an all-volunteer organization providing an after-school program for girls in 3rd through 5th grade. We are an independent chapter of a nationally recognized organization, Girls on the Run International.

We provide a curriculum-based program that promotes self-esteem and healthy living and includes running and other activities. We coach girls in the program to train for and run a local 5K race.

Coach Recruitment is open from 1/3 - 2/10 at: COACH-RECRUITMENT-SPR-2023

Coaches are required to participate in an online course prior to a four-hour in-person training.
At least one coach is required to have CPR and First Aid training, preferably the Head Coach.

Program registration for girls will open: 2/15 - 3/11/2023 on a first-come first-served (max limit is 20 per team).

Our Celebratory 5K is May 13, 2023, on the Santa Fe Plaza. All participating girls are pre-registered for the 5K event and will receive a GOTR t-shirt.
