GOTR Alumni Community | Girls on the Run

Join Now!

When we say, “The finish line is just the beginning,” we mean it! Beyond the Finish, the GOTR Alumni Community is a place for past participants, coaches, and staff and board members across the U.S. and Canada to connect with others who share a passion for our mission. Whether you’re looking to reignite friendships, pursue personal or professional development, support your physical activity goals, or help your local council, this community is for you!

Since 1996, over 2.5 million girls have crossed the finish line at our 5K Celebrations. More than 125,000 former coaches cheered those GOTR girls on. And now, we want every participant, coach, and council member to be part of this incredible alumni community.

Please fill out the form below to share your contact information. Our community launches in fall 2025, and we can’t wait for you to join us!

Inspiring GOTR Alumni Stories

Khayla, GOTR Program Alum + Current Coach

“I became a coach to be the trusted adult I once needed. Every season, I see a younger version of myself in the girls, and it reminds me why this work matters.”

Meet Khayla

Lauren, GOTR Program Alum

“I have journaled ever since my Girls on the Run experience and appreciate the outlet and reflection that journaling offers me daily. This, and all of the other mental health focuses in Girls on the Run are essential.”

Meet Lauren

Taylor, GOTR Program Alum

“I learned (at Girls on the Run) that taking care of myself—physically and emotionally—is not a sign of weakness but strength. I choose progress over perfection, a lesson reinforced during my time with GOTR.”

Meet Taylor

Amy, GOTR Program Alum

“I still carry those lessons with me today. Whether in running, my career, or life’s unpredictable moments, I know that progress isn’t about giant leaps—it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and trusting the process.”

Meet Amy

Ciara, GOTR Coach Alum

“Though I joined GOTR as a coach, I often reflect on how much I wish I had this program when I was younger. The sooner we teach girls to be confident, to move their bodies with joy, to make healthy choices, and to navigate the world with boldness and positivity, the stronger they will be.”

Meet Ciara

Hannah, GOTR Program Alum + Current Coach

“It’s also a full-circle moment to know that one day, a girl I coached will go on to do amazing things and perhaps share her own GOTR story with the world.”

Meet Hannah
