Alum on the Run alumni program launched

Alum on the Run is a unique group that allows previous participants to continue fulfilling the Girls on the Run message of living a healthy lifestyle with a positive self-image, while giving back to their own Girls on the Run community. This is a great opportunity to see old friends, share your own experience with current members, become a role model, and meet new people!

As a member of the newly formed alumni group, you will be able to participate in volunteer projects, attend fun social events and group activities, and reconnect with other former GOTR team members and meet new girls! You’ll also be able to stay connected with Girls on the Run and participate or volunteer in all the GOTR events.

Upcoming Alum on the Run opportunity:

Saturday, May 11 - Alum on the Run Happy Hair Station at the spring 5k race. Sign up to volunteer.

Saturday, May 11- Register to run in our 5k and receive an Alum on the Run race t-shirt. Use coupon code AOTR for $5 off the registration fee!

 

Get your doodle on. Fun art project planned for May 11 5k…thank you D’Art Center!
