This November, as our Fall season draws to a close and we reflect on another inspiring year, we pause to celebrate the people who make this movement possible. Gratitude is one of our core values — and this month, we’re putting it in motion.

Week 1: Thank You to Our Sites

Our school and community sites are the starting line for every season of Girls on the Run. These spaces aren’t just fields or classrooms — they’re where confidence blooms, friendships are built, and big ideas take root. To every principal, teacher, and community leader who opens your doors to Girls on the Run — thank you for believing in the power of empowering girls right where they are.

Week 2: Thank You to Our Coaches

Our coaches bring the curriculum to life — lesson by lesson, mile by mile. They are mentors, motivators, and champions of every girl’s potential. To our incredible volunteer coaches: your time, heart, and energy ripple far beyond the season. You remind each girl that she is strong, capable, and unstoppable — and we are endlessly grateful for you.

Week 3: Thank You to Our Girls and Families

Our GOTR girls are at the very core of everything we do. Their laughter, courage, and determination inspire us every single day. And to the families who cheer from the sidelines, volunteer at practices, and encourage every finish line moment — thank you for trusting us to be part of your girl’s journey. Your belief in this program fuels our mission.

Week 4: Thank You to Our Donors and Partners

Behind every 5K medal and every lesson learned is a community that gives generously. From our local business sponsors to monthly Confidence Crew donors — your support ensures that every girl, regardless of circumstance, has access to the power of Girls on the Run. Together, you help build a stronger, more connected Northern Nevada — one confident girl at a time.

Gratitude is more than a season — it’s the rhythm of everything we do.

To everyone who has played a part in our mission this year: thank you for running alongside us.
