Become A Running Buddy

Share a girl's excitement and enormous sense of accomplishment as she crosses the finish line of her first 5K run. During the 12-week program, the girls slowly build stamina and increase the distance they run through game-based workouts. Rather than race competitively, girls are encouraged to strive for their own goals. Each Running Buddy is paired with a girl and runs by her side, encouraging her to do her best while also recognizing and respecting her limits.  Be the inspiration to a young girl and help her cross the finish line of her first 5K. The job of a running buddy is to be by a girl's side for this fun and exciting experience. That means running or walking at her pace, encouraging her to do her best, but also recognizing and respecting her limits. You will join the girls for a practice 5K at their program site, and then we need you to help pace her through the main event!  Become a Running Buddy today!

Coach A Program

Coaching offers the most interaction with the incredible girls who participate in Girls on the Run. Each coach possesses great enthusiasm, strong character, and the joyful spirit necessary to serve girls effectively. All share the desire to work with girls from different races, cultures, and social and economic backgrounds, and to prepare each girl for a healthy adolescence and adulthood. Coaches participate in a thorough screening and training process, which includes a detailed application, and a criminal background check.  All coaches must attend a one day GOTR training session.  Become a Coach today!

Our goal at Girls on the Run Orlando is to turn no girls away due to financial hardship, which means we need your help to reach out to the girls that will benefit most from our program. Thank you for investing, not only in our program, but, in the future of a girl, and ultimately in the future of Orange County.

Girls on the Run Orlando is a program of Track Shack Foundation, a non-profit, 501(c)3, organization. We rely on donations from the community and local businesses to continue to provide this exceptional program to our local girls.
