"At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained volunteer coaches lead small teams of 8-20 girls twice a week through our research-based curricula, which include dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Girls in 3rd to 8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness.
The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a
service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k event.
