UNF SAAC Helps Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run is a non-profit, community-based prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. GOTR of Northeast Florida creates life-changing experiences for all girls ages 8-12 by combining training for a 5k run with important life lessons that encourage healthy habits, self-esteem, positive thinking and an active lifestyle.
The Ospreys had student-athletes from baseball, women's soccer, softball, swimming & diving, men's and women's track & field and men's tennis, swoop in to lend a hand and help these girls reach the finish line at this year's race.
This was UNF's third year helping GOTR with its end of the season 5k run. Prior to this year the Ospreys hosted the event the past two years at Hodges Stadium.
