Heart & Sole

Our Heart & Sole middle school program meets the unique needs of girls of all abilities in 6th-8th grade. The program considers the whole person – body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Heart & Sole offers an inclusive place of belonging, where girls feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health. At the end of the season, all program participants complete a 5K.

Financial Aid

The full price of Girls on the Run is $225. This amount covers the full cost of putting on the program: site fees, coach supplies, training, recruitment, t-shirts, girl packs, insurance, background checks, administrative costs, etc. It also enables us to run a sustainable organization and to offer financial aid to those who otherwise could not afford to attend, which is critical for our mission to never turn away a girl because of her family’s inability to pay.

**We also offer Payment Plans for families able to pay the full registration fee ($225), just in two payments. If you would like to take advantage of the payment plan option, click the “Next” button to move to the checkout page to select a payment plan. (Payment plans are not available for families choosing a reduced rate.) You will be charged $126 the day of registration and $99 on September 3rd.

For those who cannot afford the full cost, our sliding scale is based on the honor system, as outlined below.

If the full cost of the program is uncomfortable, you may pay $95. This pays for our program costs.

If the full cost and the $95 rate are uncomfortable, you may pay $35. This pays for our hard costs to provide lap counters, shirts, journals, medals, etc.

FAQ

My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl 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?*

The actual cost of the program per girl is $290. However, through fundraising efforts and sponshorships, we are able to provide the 20-session program to you for just $200. 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 if necessary. The online registration form will walk you through a few questions to find the fee that is right for your family based on a sliding scale.

When does the 10-week season begin?*

Practices will begin in March for Spring teams and in September for Fall teams. More information will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches once the season begins.

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

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she 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 $30,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Click here to sponsor a participant this season.
