Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run's lessons introduce physical activity as a way to boost your mood, relieve stress, feel strong, and gain confidence. Our non-competitive approach to exercise enables participants try running and walking without fear of judgement. At each session, our coaches help girls set 'lap goals' - and encourage them to incremently increase their laps. It's never about speed or winning; it's about supporting your team mates in trying new things.  At the end of each season, all of our teams come together for a 5K Celebration, where they complete 3.1 miles at their pace surrounded by family, friends, teachers, and community members. The 5K gives the girls a tangible sense of accomplishment, showing them they have limitless potential.
