To educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living

A little about us…

Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age eight to thirteen years old.The program combines training for a 3.1 mile run/walk event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts.The goal of the program is to encourage positive emotional, social, mental and physical development.

Our Objective!

The Girls on the Run objective is to reduce the potential display of at-risk activities among its participants.The goal is fewer body image dissatisfaction leading to eating disorders, less depression and suicide, as well as fewer substance/alcohol abuse problems and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.

Here is our approach –

Girls on the Run delivers its message to young girls through volunteer coaches and mentors.Our 10 week character development program teaches very specific and well-defined social and personal skills.Each program "season" ends with a non-competitive 5K run/walk event which gives the girls a chance to shine and a sense of goal accomplishment.
