We are so excited to share the next brand new, updated curriculum that we will be launching this spring 2025! Following up on last spring's debut of Hello, Superstar! which focuses on building confidence to be ourselves and love ourselves by activating our star power, in spring of 2025 we will be hosting our first season using the curriculum Hello, Mountain Mover! Throughout the season, teammates will focus on building confidence to do hard things and empower others around them to do so as well.

This is the second in a suite of three updated curricula with each new curriculum reinforcing core GOTR tools and skills and following a fun, empowering theme that builds different forms of confidence.

Since 2009, our friends at YWCA Mankato have provided Girls on the Run programs to the Greater Mankato community. Over the last 14 years, more than 3,000 girls in Mankato have participated in Girls on the Run, gaining confidence, new friends, and a love of movement. We’re excited to share that in 2024, Girls on the Run programming will continue in Mankato, now as part of Girls on the Run Minnesota.

Check out the recent features in MPR News, on KTTC and KTSP highlighting Girls on the Run Minnesota.
