A 3-part blog series to keep girls active, engaged, and empowered over the summer months.

Every summer, Girls on the Run of Union County hosts a magical experience known as Camp GOTR! For one exciting week, girls come together for a summer camp filled with fun, friendship, and confidence-building activities designed just for them. It’s not your average summer camp—it’s an empowering blend of creativity, teamwork, and learning that leaves a lasting impact on each girl who attends.

Get ready to lace up your running shoes and join us for a fun and festive start to the holiday season at the Gingersnap 5K, happening on November 23 in Downtown Waxhaw, NC! The race will kick off at 8 a.m., and it's not just about running; it’s about celebrating community, health, and the spirit of giving back. This exciting event promises to bring everyone together with a lively DJ, a Vendor Village filled with unique local businesses, and a special appearance by Gingy, our beloved gingerbread mascot.

🌟 Ready to kick off the fall season with an afternoon full of joy, creativity, and empowerment? Mark your calendars because the Girls on the Run Union County Wildflower Celebration is just around the corner!
