New Balance Girls on the Run 5K was June 20th 2009.

Welcome to Girls on the Run® (GOTR) Manhattan! GOTR Manhattan is an interactive life-skills program that uses the power of running to change the way girls see themselves and their opportunities! Our innovative health education and wellness program uniquely combines training for a 3.1 mile run/walk event with life-changing, self esteem enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle in 8-12 year old girls. Girls learn to stretch themselves - physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally - and in the process, are inspired to a lifetime of self respect and healthy living!

Girls on the Run Manhattan is an Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of over 150 locations across the United States and Canada.
