JOIN THE GOTR CHARITY TEAM FOR THE GEORGIA PUBLIX MARATHON OR HALF MARATHON

 We are organizing a charity running team for the Georgia Publix Marathon. If you are running in the upcoming Georgia Publix Marathon or Half Marathon and would like to be a part of the GOTR Atlanta Charity team (no additional cost to the runner), please contact info@girlsontherunatlanta.org.

Email your name and email address that you used to sign up for the race to info@girlsontherunatlanta.org by February 9th. Each runner that signs up will receive easy gear drop off and pick up race day morning, an invitation to join Girls on the Run post race in the heated charity tent for snacks and beverages and an entry into a drawing for a refurbished Garmin watch that can be picked up at the Race Expo. Please note that runners need to register for this event independently. Make sure to select Girls on the Run (GOTR) from the charity list if you have not yet registered for the race.

Keep on Recycling Your Sneakers! 

We collected approximately 2,800 pounds of sneakers at our recent New Balance Girls on the Run 5k! Wow, that’s a lot of sneakers. 

Shout outs go to Piedmont Healthcare’s Women’s Leadership Alliance and Phidippides who each collected 500+ pounds of sneakers. Renaissance Elementary School who won our “GreenSneaker Challenge” among our participating schools with 263 pounds – great job!  Additional thanks to schools who turned in many, many bags of sneakers: Austin Elementary, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, Briarcliff Woods, Clairemont Elementary, Creek View Elementary, Morris Brandon Elementary, Jones Bridge Park, Roswell North, Elementary School, Sope Creek Elementary, Shallowford Falls Elementary and St. John Neumann School. 

GreenSneakers pays GOTR for the sneakers and sends on the gently used shoes to people in need. A win-win-win. 

If you missed this shoe drive, please hold on to your sneakers. We’ll be collecting them again at our Spring 5K, which will be on April 28, 2012.
