🌟 Our Girls on the Run Teams Did It! 🌟
This weekend, both our amazing Girls on the Run teams crossed the finish line at the End-of-Season 5K at UNF! 🏃♀️💪
We are beyond proud of our Mountain Movers! These incredible girls showed grit, determination, and heart every step of the way. Using their GOTR Toolbox, they tackled tough moments and truly moved mountains to reach their goals.
✨ When the going got tough, they remembered their tools: positive self-talk, perseverance, and teamwork. And wow—did they shine!
💖 Congratulations to every runner, coach, and supporter who made this day unforgettable. Here’s to strong girls who inspire us all!
