We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running and movement. The after-school program is designed to inspire girls of all abilities to recognize and embrace their inner strength and make meaningful connections with others.
Every single girl who crosses the finish-line at the culminating, non-competitive 5K Celebration is a true success story! Completing a 5K gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals.
Girls on the Run inspires individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection as a team. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.
Our Heart & Sole middle school program is designed to meet the unique needs of 6th-8th grade girls of all abilities. The program considers the whole person – body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Heart & Sole offers an inclusive place of belonging, where participants feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health. At the end of the season, all team members complete a 5K.
It takes many hands to ensure a positive and fun experience for the girls, coaches and 5K Buddies on 5K Day! You don't need to be a runner - on the job training is easy and fun! Check out more here: https://www.girlsontherunnh.org/5k
