Signing Up a Girl
Are you interested in signing up for a Girls
on the Run® program? If so, you must contact the program
site (i.e., the school) directly in mid November. Beginning
in mid November of each year, area schools and organizations
that have been approved as a host site will have the necessary
registration forms and program schedule. Each site is
also responsible for collecting the program fees. We are
delivering GOTR in over 50 schools and community organizations
in Greater Kalamazoo this spring.

Bringing the Program to Your School
Within Greater Kalamazoo, we deliver the program in all
interested school districts that have a presence within
Kalamazoo County (Otsego, Plainwell, Gull Lake, Parchment,
Kalamazoo, Comstock, Galesburg-Augusta, Mattawan, Portage,
Climax-Scotts, Schoolcraft, Vicksburg and Athens). Our
territory is defined in conjunction with Girls on the
Run International each year.
See Program Locations for a list of our 2008
sites.
If Girls on the Run is not in a school in our program
area, we can help you bring the program your way.
What Does it Cost to Participate?
The actual out of pocket cost to the GOTR program is
approximately $150 per girl for the twice per week, nine
week program. This $150 covers the full cost of one child’s
participation which includes:
A family that can afford to pay $150 is asked to pay
the full amount. Participants of Girls on the Run and
their families who cannot afford to pay $150 choose
a program fee ranging from $0 to $149. Girls participate
equally in the program regardless of the fee their
family
selects. The following scale is provided for families
to choose what they believe they can afford. It is
essential that each family contribute as much as it can
afford.
Local fund raising efforts and donations help to bridge
the gap between program fees paid and necessary sponsorship.
Families that have the ability to and are interested
in supporting the program beyond the $150 will have
an opportunity to sponsor additional girls as well on
the
participant registration form.
