Executive director Jennifer West stated that Girls on the Run (GOTR) Lancaster-Lebanon is designed to help girls achieve whatever goals they set. “We like to say girls join for 100 different reasons,” she said. “Some like to get faster in a sport on their offseason. Some are new to the area, and they want to make friends. Some have friends, and they just want to have a really great time. You can be from any area and when you participate in Girls on the Run, you are going to get out of it exactly what you need.” GOTR Lancaster-Lebanon is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that serves girls in third through eighth grades in Lancaster and Lebanon counties. West said that since forming in 2009, the council has impacted nearly 24,000 girls through locally delivered GOTR, Heart & Sole, and Camp GOTR programs. Registration for the fall season will be open through Saturday, Sept. 13. Go to www.gotr lancaster.org for more details or to register. There is a fee to participate, but GOTR has several financial assistance plans and payment options. Registration includes 20 practice sessions conducted by certified and trained GOTR volunteer coaches, curriculum and lesson materials and a takehome journal with activities, an official GOTR season T-shirt and gift, and 5K registration and a medal. Each team will do a community impact project. “It’s very important to give back to the space
