In celebration of Women's History Month 2025, themed "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," we're excited to share perspectives from the GOTR-DC team. First up is Joanna, our Program Intern, who reflects on what "Moving Forward Together" means to her: "To me, 'Moving Forward Together' means nobody gets left behind. All women, all gender non-conforming persons, all people moving together hand-in-hand. Not in spite of our differences but because of them. When we truly begin to love and appreciate everyone for who they are, that is when real tangible change can happen." Joanna's insightful words remind us of the power of unity and inclusivity. #JoinTheConversation: What does "Moving Forward Together" mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Stay tuned as we continue to share more insights from our team.

"My coach said I run like a girl, and I said if he ran a little faster, he could too." At Girls on the Run - DC, we know that running like a girl means moving with strength, confidence, and determination. Every season, we see girls push past limits, set goals, and grow in ways that inspire us all. Let’s keep lifting up the next generation to be fearless, strong, and unstoppable! Who inspires you to keep moving forward? ?? #LikeAGirl #GOTRDC #ConfidenceInMotion #WomensHistoryMonth #WednesdayWisdom
