Building confidence and setting young girls down the path of a healthy lifestyle is PRICELESS! However, there are real costs associated with operating a non-profit organization and delivering the Girls on the Run program to approximately 2,000 girls in the Northwest and West Central Indiana area each year. Registration is $180 per girl and includes:
Automatic Financial Assistance:
Adjusted Registration Fee based on a sliding scale

My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl is already a skilled runner. Is this program for her?
Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving foward!
What does the program fee include?
Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials, including GOTR curriculum, journal, lap counters and more, a GOTR t-shirt, a bib entry into the season-ending 5K, a finisher's medal, a GOTR water bottle and a healthy snack at every practice.
We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the scholarship program work?
Don't let cost stop you from participating! We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all who want to particpate! Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships are available to any family who needs it, and we can also provide appropriate running shoes and attire if necessary. The online registration form will walk you through a few questions to find the fee that is right for your family based on a sliding scale.
When does the 10-week season begin?
Spring Season: Practice begins the first week of March
Fall Season: Practice begins the first week of Septemeber
Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?
Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.
Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?
Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than 70% of our program participants with scholarships assistance. Click here to make a donation and sponsor a girl this season.
