Girls on the Run is a fun after-school program that uses the power of running to help prepare young girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.  During the after-school sessions, girls train for a 5k run/walk event with workouts that teach healthy decision making and valuable life skills.  The event parners with the GOTR chapter of Sonoma County.  Many of the volunteers for this event are girls and their mentors from GOTR.  For more information about this program, visit www.gotrsonomacounty.org
