GOTR is a way to help yourself.  I have learned how to use words and actions.  it is also a way to keep your body healthy and straong.  GOTR has helped me through running and helped me to become a better person.  Isabelle, Grade 5

I like Girls on the Run because I get to run and talk about what to do when I am being bullied.  It is helpful because I was being bullied and my feelings were hurt.  I learned what to do, and say I feel frustrated because you are saying mean words and I would like you to stop.  Jamil, Grade 3

Girls on the Run means we get together with our friends to talk and run together.  I like it because we all are friends and encourage each other even if we didn't know each other in the beginning.  Loren, Grade 5

I really like GOTR because i've made new friends, I've learned new stuff about myself (inner beauty) and I get to spend more time with my mom, she's my running buddy.  Chirstina, Grade 3

From a mom whose daughter is in the program:
...has gained confidence in her ability to run and to set a goal (running 3 miles) and achieve that goal.  I think her self confidence has improved dramatically being with this group of girls and instructors.
