Benefitting Charity: Girls Gotta Run Foundation
In Ethiopia, 95% of girls begin their education but only 10% complete through 12th grade. Girls Gotta Run is on a mission to change that.
Join us for a cause as we donate 30% of race proceeds towards education, athletics, life skills, and entrepreneurship in Ethiopia. Girls Gotta Run is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that invests in girls who use running and education to empower themselves and their communities.
Your participation will help us provide lifesaving resources for vulnerable girls and women with the GGRF COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.
The remaining proceeds will go towards funding Strong Runner Chicks efforts to educate, empower, and connect female distance runners throughout the world, and to impact more communities.
