Girls on the Run!

Over the course of 10 weeks, the girls have learned to love themselves from the inside out. Their confidence comes from nurturing and honoring self, embracing differences, and giving back to the community. The result - Joyful, Healthy, Confident girls who CAN!

The 5k is not only a celebration of physical health, but also the girl’s journey toward a life of positive emotional, social, and mental well-being. Parents/guardians and participants, please read through this event guide as it contains a lot of helpful and important information to make your experience the best it can possibly be.
