Greater Kalamazoo, we deliver the program in 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. Participating sites must meet program criteria and receive approval from Greater Kalamazoo GOTR to host the program.
Sites may be approved for multiple teams (teams consist of 8-15 girls) if space allows and adequate coaches are available. Teams at most sites practice right after school. A very select few sites offer evening practices.
If Girls on the Run is not in a school or organization in our program area, we can help you bring GOTR your way. Our hope is to bring the program to more locations to reach our goal of giving as many girls as possible in the Greater Kalamazoo Area the chance to be girls on the run. See ‘Starting a Program’ for more information.
