Registration for the Spring 2025 season of Girls on the Run is NOW OPEN! 

It’s GOTR time! This spring, Girls on the Run Upstate SC is unveiling Hello, Mountain Mover! – an updated, empowering program for 3rd-5th graders. Through movement-based games, team discussions, and life skill-building, your girl will learn to navigate emotions, express empathy, and tackle challenges with confidence.

Hello, Mountain Mover! explores core topics relevant to 3rd-5th grade participants such as:

Navigating emotions
Communication
