Sites are required to provide the following:
- Provide a Site Liaison – Liaison Position Description
- Provide a safe, dedicated space for running two days per week for 1½ hours. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. This does not have to be a track. A field is fine. However, there is a need to measure off part of the area for occasions when lessons require running a certain distance (e.g. 1 mile, 5K, etc.).
- Provide a rain site. Indoor, private, preferably a gym reserved for GOTR® and NOT in conflict with other programs.
- Determine plan for promoting the program.
- Identify participants. Distribute registration forms to all 3rd through 5th grade girls. Teams consist of 8-15 girls. Some sites may be approved for multiple teams.
- Provide two coaching candidates per team for your site. Each coach will be required to attend one day of Girls on the Run® training in August and become 1st Aid and CPR certified. Coaches must be available two afternoons per week during the program. Girls on the Run will assist you in identifying coaches when necessary.
- Verify support from the school principal or site director.
- Secure storage area for shoes, snacks, etc.
For further information, please contact Beth Spyke at 517.364.8142 or send her an email.
