Growing KCGOTR

   Thank you Merrie Palmer, outgoing KCGOTR Board President,             for six years of service!

      Your passion, leadership and investment is a model for us all.

      Welcome Evy Houser, new President and former 5K Coordinator.

We are excited to have 12 schools from across Kent County participating in our new Fall season of 

Girls on Track,  the middle school program of Girls on the Run!

Participating schools are:

Burton, Byron Charter, Chandler Woods,  GR University Preparatory,  Highlands,

Jackson Park, Kelloggsville, Knapp Charter, Lowell, Newhall, Pinewood,  Red Hawk.

This is the first time we have separated Girls on Track from the Spring season.

This change will allow us to focus on our middle school girls and be part of getting them off to a great start to the school year.

Plan ahead to join us for their 5K. They will be joining the Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run on December 10th.

Think about creating a team or being a running buddy.
