Ann Arbor Chevrolet Dealer Sponsors Girls on the Run Event

The leading Ann Arbor Chevrolet dealership, Bill Crispin Chevrolet, is pleased to announce their support of New Balance's Girls on the Run 5K Series.

The Girls on the Run 5K series, one of 85 events in the United States and Canada, is a culmination of GOTRSEMI's ten week session where girls (ages 8-12) partake in a life-changing character development program. Through running, girls recognize the importance of staying healthy and active while learning about their own personal power. Teams of 8 to 15 girls meet two times per week for an hour and a half. During the ten week after-school program, the girls not only train for their upcoming 3.1 mile run, but they also participate in self-esteem enhancing projects, uplifting workouts, and a community service project.

GOTR's goal is to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual, and physical development for girls during a confusing time in their life. Between the ages of 8 and 12 years old, girls are receptive to adults and begin to feel peer pressure. The 10-week curriculum helps each girl find and stay true to her real self.

The Girls on the Run program has a mission to prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. During the ten week character building program, girls interact with volunteer coaches and mentors where three important concepts are addressed: All About Me: Getting to know who I am and what I stand for; Building My Team: Understanding the Importance of Cooperation; and Community Begins with Me: Learning about community and designing a community project.

At the culmination of the ten week program, the girls participate in a non-competitive 5K race event that allows the girls to shine and experience an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
