I find it so hard to find a chapter :/ they all seem to be through schools. Ours doesn't offer it. Oh well.

Was not true for the GOTR coordinators where we participated.

I coached for 3 years while dd was in grades 3-5. A very well organized program for female empowerment and confidence building with a running component. It is definitely not a precursor to track and field. As one of the dads said after the 5k run, "now I need to go and have a real work out."

For some girls who don't do any exercise, it might be challenging, but I would venture that for 85-90%, it's super easy and fun

Like Girl Scouts, it’s entirely leader dependent. You need to find out if other kids at your school are happy with it.

I think my kids need the excercise.

My DD does both and I volunteer for one. Girl Scouts is intended to be a long term commitment. Girls stay with their troops for years. GOTR is a short season that some girls do repeatedly, but it’s a set program that’s finished in a matter of weeks.

It completely depends on which is a better fit and what your daughter wants. By mid elementary you shouldn’t be making these decisions unilaterally on her behalf.

Niece did it. Had a good time.

Yes, my daughters loved it!

My daughter liked it but also would have preferred more running. I'm sure it varies depending on the coach, but my impression is that it's focussed more on getting them used to running, not necessarily pushing them to improve their running. Which is great! It's just that no one program will be everything to everyone.
