About Team Tiara®
Team Tiara® is the charity running leg of Girls on the Run (GOTR). We are a team of athletes (male & female) who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, to raise money for local Girls on the Run (GOTR) councils and our important character development programs for young girls.
Come cheer on our 14 Team Tiara® athletes at this year's Marine Corps Marathon.
There are three "crown jewels" that make up Team Tiara:
Health: we run in celebration of health! We are motivated to make a difference in the future of girls by introducing healthy habits and an active lifestyle!
Girl Power: we run because it is fun! Our Team members run in "sporty" tiaras – which are an external symbol of the internal beauty we all possess. The tiaras remind us of the whimsical spirit that exists within each of us and caps off our image of being strong, healthy individuals who dare to make a difference.
Inspiration: we run to show what is possible. The experience of a Team Tiara® athlete mirrors the experience of a girl in the GOTR program - both learn lessons about goal setting and achievement, perseverance, motivation, overcoming obstacles and inspiration. These athletes step across the finish line and experience a moment when their sense of what is possible becomes limitless!
Just as Team Tiara® members are changed by their experience, GOTR uses running to transform the way girls see themselves and their opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to raise enough money to reach every girl, and to educate and prepare her for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living.
A Team Tiara Member recently said---
I just wanted to say thank you again for having me as a member of Team Tiara. I had a great run yesterday, and I will never forget that experience! Overall, I enjoyed every minute of this experience, from raising money for GOTR, to training, to running the whole 26.2. I couldn't have done it without GOTR, so THANK YOU!
We hope you join our mission!
