At Girls on the Run of Greater Knoxville, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do.

From coaches who bring our evidence-based curriculum to life, to event volunteers who make event days magical, to board members who guide our vision - our work simply wouldn’t be possible without them. This series celebrates the people who make it all happen and offers a closer look at the many ways volunteers power our mission.

What is one of your favorite GOTR moments or memories? I get emotional at the finish line of our 5K every season. Seeing the joy and feeling the support for the girls is the perfect end to each GOTR season.
