Girls on the Run Delaware

Organization Mission:

Girls on the Run Delaware delivers two life-changing character development programs for girls in 3rd through 8th grades. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident, using a fun, experience- based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The Girls on the Run program inspires participants to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others.

$20 for 20 Years!!!


This year is especially meaningful for us at Girls on the Run Delaware, as we celebrate 20 years of inspiring girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident. Since 2005, we’ve served over 35,000 girls across the state of Delaware, and thanks to our generous donors, over 24,000 of them received scholarship support to participate in our life-changing program. 
 
At GOTR Delaware, our objective is to make our program available to all girls throughout the state regardless of their families ability to pay the program fee. We want all girls across Delaware to experience our life changing program. Their confidence and physical, mental, and emotional health deserve it! 

Please support us by giving $20 for 20 Years!!!!
About Girls on the Run Delaware

Girls on the Run Delaware is more than an after-school activity, it’s a confidence building movement disguised as a running program. Designed for girls in grades 3 to 8, it blends movement with meaningful conversations about self-worth, friendships, resilience, and goal-setting, using games and interactive lessons to make big life skills feel approachable and fun. Over a 10 week season, small teams led by trained volunteer coaches create a supportive space where girls learn to challenge negative self-talk, celebrate their strengths, and encourage one another. The season culminates in a joyful, non-competitive 5K that isn’t about finishing first, but about finishing proud symbolizing the inner strength and growth each participant has built along the way. Our 5K's this spring will be in Wilmington on April 25th and Georgetown on April 26th.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
One of the most unique aspects of Girls on the Run Delaware is our outreach to serve girls from low to moderate income families statewide.  In order to fund these lower income families, we rely on generous grants, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations to underwrite the cost of our program fee for our underserved girls. Our objective is to make our program available to all girls throughout the state and to deliver our curriculum to all girls regardless of their families ability to pay the program fee. Over 65% of our participants receive a partial or full scholarship to participate in our program each season. In 2025 alone, we provided 1,200  girls over $200,000 in scholarship funding.  We have never turned away a girl for their inability to pay.
