Inspiring GOTR Alumni Stories
Zola, GOTR Alum
“I’ve seen firsthand how empowering it is to support others, especially girls and women. In a world where female empowerment is more important than ever, GOTR gave me the foundation to stand strong and confident.”
Melissa, GOTR Coach Alum
“My first season of coaching, I watched girls transform and I was inspired to do the same. By May 2011, I ran my first 5K alongside my 9-year-old daughter and thousands of other GOTR girls. That experience changed everything.”
Khalya, 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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
