GOTR - A Decade Of Impact Spring 5K Scheduled By Ann Mead Ash

In the 10 years since the Girls on the Run (GOTR) of Lancaster-Lebanon council was founded, the organization has racked up some significant statistics. “We’ve had 12,800 girls cross the finish line,” said executive director Carrie Johnson, referring to both completing the program’s culminating 5K and finishing the GOTR 20-lesson curriculum designed to promote good choices for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
