Financial Aid

If you are in need of financial assistance, please work your way through the registration process. We are using a new process. Before checkout, you will be asked if you need financial assistance, then you will be asked to provide your household income and the number of people in your household. Your price will be adjusted using a sliding scale and the adjusted price will appear at checkout. If you do not qualify for assistance through this process but still need help,  please complete this Scholarship Interest form first before moving forward. Once you have completed the form, do not continue registration until you hear back from us. Contact Susan Michel at 443-864-8593 or susan.michel@girlsontherun.org with any questions about financial assistance eligibility.

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 1,800 girls in the Carroll, Cecil, Harford and Howard Counties each year. Registration is $185 per participant and includes:

  • Sessions conducted by certified GOTR volunteer coaches
  • Curriculum and lesson materials
  • Journal
  • A healthy snack at each session
  • Official GOTR T-shirt and water bottle
  • 5K Registration fee
  • 5K Medal
  • Post 5k celebration

Ma fille n’est pas une grande coureuse. Est-ce que ce programme lui conviendra? OU Ma fille est déjà une coureuse expérimentée. Est-ce que ce programme lui conviendra?

My child isn't a big runner; is this program for them? OR My child 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 over $270, through generous donors we're able to offer the program for $185. 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, a GOTR water bottle and a healthy snack at every practice.

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 on a case by case basis. 

When does the season begin?

Our Spring 2024 Season will start the week of March 18th and end the week of May 20th for Cecil and Harford Counties. For Howard and Carroll Counties the season will start the week of April 1, 2024 and end the week of June 3rd. 

Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your child will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a someone who can, and consider joining us in a future season when they 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 $60,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Click here to donate.
