“If you are a girl who is bad at making friends, and you sit alone each day… that was me. I was the person out of the crowd. Then I joined Girls on the Run. It changed my life! Now I have people who understand me. I love my life because of GOTR.” - Colleen, age 9.

Girls on the Run (GOTR) has been empowering girls in western Colorado for more than 17 years. Eighteen years ago, we started with 12 coaches and 40 girls. Now we will have over 2,500 participants mentored by more than 550 volunteer coaches.

Although there are many GOTR councils throughout the nation, Girls on the Run of Western Colorado has one of the lowest registration fees, with scholarships available to girls who need them. GOTR is possible for all girls, thanks to the support of our communities, individuals, businesses and foundations that contribute money, and volunteers who give their time and talents to our programs.

Seeing a transformation like Colleen’s is extraordinary, but being part of it can be absolutely life changing. We encourage you to be part of Girls on the Run of Western Colorado by donating, volunteering as a running buddy or at one of our races and encouraging girls you know in third through eighth grade to sign up.
