Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity-based, positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-5th grades. Meeting in small teams, trained volunteer coaches inspire girls to build confidence and other important life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activity. The lessons focus on building social, emotional and physical skills in girls while encouraging healthy habits for life. Each season comes to an end with a joyful, noncompetitive, celebratory 5K event which was held May 14th. This culmination gives girls a tangible sense of accomplishment and the confidence to be the author of her own story.
