Egypt Offers Example of How Developing Countries Can Plan for e-Commerce
Famed for its ancient souks and bazaars, Egypt is now looking to the future of commerce by backing a far-reaching strategy that aims to double the number of businesses selling products and services online by 2020.

WHAT IS A RUNNING BUDDY? A parent/family member, teacher, family friend or community volunteer. We need the happiest and most energetic buddies in Utah. IS THAT YOU?
THE JOB OF A RUNNING BUDDY is to be by a girl’s side either running, walking or skipping at her pace, encouraging her to do her best, but also recognizing and respecting her limits. Running Buddies will be paired with a girl that fits their own running abilities to ensure a perfect fit!
YOU COMMIT TO RUN TWICE with your buddy, once at her practice 5K (about 2-3 weeks before the June 2nd 5k Celebration Event at Sugarhouse Park) and the day of the 5K Event. Each school site has a different practice day/time and these are listed on our website under ‘program locations’.
REGISTER FOR OUR JUNE 2nd 5K EVENT, pay the $30 event fee and choose the ‘Running Buddy’ option. Either choose a school that you would like to run with or select the ‘choose for me’ option and we will contact you to match you up with the school that works best with your schedule. Register today!
QUESTIONS? Please contact our Running Buddy Coordinator: Ivy Denihan at ivy@girlsontherunutah.org.

* *We've updated the curriculum for the camp at Sugar House Park. See the updated dates and curriculum offerings below!
Camp GOTR combines what your girl loves about Girls on the Run with all the fun of camp! During the week-long session, girls entering 3rd – 5th grades will enjoy building friendships in a fun and inclusive setting that includes interactive games, being physically active, and expressing creativity through arts and crafts and storytelling. Led by caring and qualified Girls on the Run coaches, Camp GOTR provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for girls to develop self-confidence, have fun with friends, and learn life skills they can use now and as they grow.
During the our mini Camp GOTR last summer, one parent shared: “My daughter talked non-stop about all the fun she had. She made new friends and tried new things, which really helped to build her self-confidence.” We would love for your girl to join us this summer at Camp GOTR!
