Our Mission:
To educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of
self-respect and healthy living.
What is Girls on the Run?
Girls on the Run® is a life-changing learning program for girls in grades 3 - 8.
The program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with healthy living education. Our programs instill self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships and physical training - all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community.
