Readiness to Participate Criteria

2. Provide a Site Liaison
3. Provide a safe, dedicated space for running. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. This does not have to be a track. A field is fine. However, there is a need to measure off part of the area (quarter mile) for occasions when lessons require running a certain distance, e.g. 1 mile, 5K, etc. and a need to be able to see the girls running at all times.
4. Briefly describe the available running area:
5. Provide a rain site. Indoor, private, preferably a gym or classroom reserved for GOTR® and NOT in conflict with other programs.
6. Briefly describe the available indoor space:
7. Determine plan for identifying participants. We can offer display board on campus, video presentation to girls or provide materials to go home with girls.
8. If information needs to be sent home to families, are you able to print materials to be distributed or will you need GOTR to provide you with hard copies, if so how many girls are in the 3rd-5th or 6th-8th grades:

Program Fees

Participants of Girls on the Run® and their families choose a program fee ranging from $10 to $150. Girls participate equally in the program regardless of the fee their family selects. The actual out of pocket cost to the GOTR program is approximately $150 per girl for the twice-per-week, ten-week program. This $150 covers the full cost of one child’s participation. The following scale is provided for families to choose what they believe they can afford, with the realization that by contributing as much as they can afford, families are helping realize the vision for all girls to participate. Families who have the ability to and are interested in supporting the program beyond the $150 will have an opportunity to sponsor additional girls as well on the participant registration form.

Level I - $150

Level II - $100

Level III - $50

Level IV - $25
