For years, we’ve witnessed the impact of Girls on the Run firsthand. Now, we have the research to show just how far that impact reaches. We’re proud to share Lasting Impact: The Girls on the Run Alums Study, a landmark third-party research effort that highlights the long-term benefits of our program.

Alums report continuing to use Girls on the Run strategies in middle school to manage emotions, navigate friendships, build confidence, and face new challenges. These findings affirm the power of our intentional curriculum and dedicated coaches, showing that the skills girls gain stay with them for years to come.

Small but mighty crew at this Volusia County practice 5K 💗

These girls showed up, worked hard, and absolutely crushed it. They felt the extra love too, with encouragement from the admin team and the sweetest surprise from Coach Mooney’s kindergarten class.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Lip Sync Battle: Totally ’80s.

While we were excited to bring this fun and meaningful evening to life, we must remain responsible stewards of our resources and cannot move forward with the event without incurring a financial loss.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported this event, especially our performers, our emcees Eden Kendall and Rance Adams, and our generous sponsors and community partners, including Culhane’s Irish Pub, Mai Oui Catering, Flame Broiler, and many others who stepped forward in support.

All ticket purchases will be fully refunded.

Thank you for continuing to believe in Girls on the Run of Northeast Florida and the power of supporting girls in our community. 💛

The greatest strength of Girls on the Run is not only found at the finish line. It grows in the connections built along the way.

With BAND, our GOTR community has a secure, all-in-one place to stay connected. Coaches and families can share practice highlights, celebrate “aha!” moments, and keep everyone up to date so no one misses an important update along their girl’s journey.

We’re grateful to BAND for helping our community stay connected every step of the way. 💗https://cam.onelink.me/oQAh/v6zbjrxy

This is exactly what we see every season 💚
When girls feel encouraged, included, and confident, they don’t just stay active… they thrive.

For girls navigating growing pressure and stress, physical activity can be transformative, but how it is approached determines whether girls thrive or step away.
