We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. Girls on the Run culminates with a celebratory 5k running event that the girls are physically and emotionally prepared to complete! The goal of this program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.
