Join us at one of the most moving and unique events in Michigan!

The New Balance Girls on the Run 5k is the culmination of GOTRSEMI's 10-week season. More than 400 young girls aged 8-13 will celebrate their girl power by running 3.1 miles together with their parents, teachers, and community members.

Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan is a non-profit after school program for 3rd through 8th grade girls. We use running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living. The character-building program focuses on building self-esteem, confidence and improving physical and emotional health. Over the course of a 10-week season our volunteer coaches teach life-skills lesson such as handling bullies, dealing with body image and the media, making healthy decisions and contributing to the community. Along the way, the girls train together to run in a 5k (3.1 mile) run.
