Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade.
We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event.
The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.
“Girls on the Run could make any girl fearless, because when you’re surrounded by people you trust, respect and care for, nothing can hold you back from being the most beautiful person you have grown to be.” – Josie, Grade 6
