Registration Fees

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 800 girls per year in the Rhode Island and Bristol County MA area each year. Registration is $180 per girl and includes:

20 ninety-minute sessions conducted by certified GOTR volunteer coaches
Curriculum and lesson materials
Official GOTR T-shirt and water bottle
5K Registration fee
5K Medal
Post 5K celebration

Important notes:

Sibling Discount: When the “full” registration fee of $180 is paid for the first child, the second child will receive a 10% discount.
Coach’s Daughter Discount: All coaches will receive a discount when registering their child.

Cancellation/Withdrawal Policy: Withdrawal prior to the start of the session will be refunded minus the administration fee. Girls on the Run will issue a 50% refund if a girl drops the program prior to the fourth practice session. No refunds will be issued after this time. Please note: if you daughter is absent 4 or more times she will be removed from the team automatically. All refunds should be requested by the guardian (not the coach) by contacting Elizabeth.McGann@girlsontherun.org.

FAQ

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?

Though our cost per particpant is $383, through generous donors we're able to offer the 10-week, 20-lesson program for $180. Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials, including GOTR curriculum, activity sheets, lap counters and more, a GOTR t-shirt, a bib entry into the season-ending 5K, a finisher's medal, and a GOTR water bottle.

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 practices are underway The culminating event will be the 5K on Saturday, May 11. The Fall season will start the week of September 9. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches once the season begins.

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 $30,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Click here to sponsor a participant this season.

Do you welcome trans girls? Gender-expansive girls? What about nonbinary and gender-fluid children?

We welcome children who identify as girls, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming.
