Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a wonderful and popular 10 week program for 3rd and 4th grade girls. The girls train for a celebratory 5k run through interactive lessons that encourage positive physical and social-emotional development.  Volunteer coaches (usually Romona parents) are trained by the Girls on the Run organization and run 2 weekly 75 minutes practices which are held right after school at Romona.  There is a fall season and a spring season.  More information is HERE

When and Where: Practice sessions are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Sept 11-Nov 15th from 3:15- 4:30 pm at Romona (exceptions: we don’t meet on no-school days). The celebratory 5k will be held Nov 17.

The cost, set by the GOTR organization, is $205 per girl and includes a t-shirt and the 5K registration fee.  Each girl is required to have an adult running buddy register for the 5K; the buddy’s cost is approx. $35

Registration: Click Here to register! Make sure to select “Romona Elementary – Wilmette” as the program site. Note: it may not work to register using your smartphone
MORE COACHES WELCOME: If you would like to help as a coach (no running experience needed) click here to register and email PTA GOTR Chair Emily Downs at healthandfitness@romonapta.org
Questions: Visit www.gotrchicago.org for more information about the program and the 5K or email Emily Downs:healthandfitness@romonapta.org
