After experiencing a memorable first in our organization after 19 years of service, we are reaching out today to address last Saturday’s event cancellation. We received notes of support for which we are grateful, as well as feedback that we take seriously. All of the communications from this past weekend will help us grow stronger as an organization.

Girls on the Run Greater Cincinnati holds the safety of our participants as a top priority. We are aware of the potential for inclement weather and are doing everything we can to be prepared for such a situation. We have created a clear policy and system to keep all 5K day participants, spectators, and volunteers prepared and informed if such a situation arises.

Please join Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey and other certified Defensive Tactics instructors who will conduct a self-defense class benefitting GOTR Cincinnati!

Participating in sports can do wonders to a girl’s confidence, social life and health. Like anything else, some girls will be more skilled than others, but that does not mean that everyone should not give sports a try.

Drinking enough water every day is an essential part of human health, making water the best drink choice for everyone — including growing girls. Even though it can sometimes be more tempting to reach for a sugary or caffeinated drink, when you choose water instead, your body will thank you every time.
