The Fayetteville YMCA supports the Sandhills Girls on the Run (GOTR). GOTR is a program for elementary aged girls from 8-12. This 10-week program inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum, which creatively integrates running and is designed to promote good choices for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Through the experience of running, interactive activities and discussions, participants learn how to celebrate being a girl!

In November, the 5k Turkey Trot in Hope Mills culminates their fall training, for many it is their first race. For the volunteer coaches, this program is in the third season.
