13.1 miles in March was just the warm up! On November 2, I will be running the 2025 New York City Marathon in support of Girls on the Run NYC! As GOTR NYC's Program Manager, I've seen firsthand the amazing impact of the program as girls' confidence comes to life. Thank you for your continued support - your impact will extend far beyond the finish line.
Girls on the Run is an afterschool youth development program helping girls build social and emotional skills through running. Using a research-based curriculum, GOTR combines running with lessons relating to building self-esteem and confidence, managing emotions, making positive friendships, and developing healthy habits/increasing physical activity at a pivotal stage in their development. At the end of each program season, girls complete a 5K - both a milestone achievement, and a celebration of how far they have come and how far they will continue to go.
