Girls on the Run

We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all girls. Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, financial assistance is available to any girl who needs it. Families can select a payment plan during the registration process.  Our program fee is a sliding scale based on current annual household income.  This allows us to provide programming that is more equitable and accessible to all.  Please contact the Girls on the Run Southeastern Wisconsin program team at program@gotrsewi.org if you have questions.

Girls on the Run of Southeastern Wisconsin uses a lottery registration system to ensure all girls have the same opportunity to participate in Girls on the Run.  Click here  for more information on the registration lottery.

• Official program t-shirt 
• Entry into the celebratory end-of-season event and finisher's medal
• Program fees also help us to ensure participant safety by providing background checks for every volunteer and liability insurance for all sites 
• Fees also help support a family-focused 5K event

Attendance/Absentee Policy

It is very important for your girl to attend both sessions each week because the lessons build upon each other and group relationships build over time.  Girls are not allowed to sign up for one session a week.  If you know your girl can't make it to both sessions each week, please do not sign up- leave room for a girl who can. 

Respectful Behavior Policy

Girls are expected to behave in a way that permits the coaches to carry out the day's scheduled activities.  Girls who are continually disruptive in a way that prevents the rest of the group from experiencing the benefits of the program may be asked to leave for the rest of the season.  A child who engages in behavior that threatens the health or welfare of other participants, administrators, or coaches will be released from the program for the remainder of the season.  Threatening behavior may include but is not limited to:  physical injury, emotional mistreatment, abuse of prescription or illegal drugs, use of alcohol, carrying firearms or other dangerous items, using any item in a dangerous way, or any other activity determined by a coach or administrator to be threatening of another person's health or well-being.  Girls on the Run, its coaches, and administrators reserve the right to remove from participation any child whose behavior for any reason does not fit the mission and goals of the organization.

Late Pick-up Policy

Parents/guardians must pick up their child promptly at the end of each program session. A pick-up is considered late if it occurs more than 10 minutes after the scheduled end time. After three late pick-ups, a child may be excluded from continued participation in the program.

Payment/Cancellation/Withdrawal from the Program Policy

A girl may choose to withdraw from the program without penalty before the end of the day on September 12.  No refunds will be issued once the season has begun.
