Girls on the Run of Nebraska

Girls on the Run of Nebraska provides after-school programs that combine education with physical activity to promote confidence, character and healthy lifestyles in third- through eighth-grade girls. We use nationally standardized and evidence-based curricula to build life skills and promote physical activity and goal-setting in young girls. GOTR-Nebraska is one of 180+ GOTR councils across the country that collectively serve 200,000 girls annually. Since its inception with 11 girls in Lincoln in 2003, GOTR-Nebraska has expanded to serve more than 27,000 girls at schools spanning 500 miles across the state. GOTR teams meet twice weekly for 8 weeks to complete the curriculum and train for a 5K run/walk at the end of the season. The event is an uplifting and unforgettable experience for girls, their families and coaches.
