We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
An independent study conducted by Dr. Maureen R. Weiss found that 97% of participants learned essential life skills at Girls on the Run – including managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others, or making intentional decisions – that they continue to use at home, at school, and with their friends.
3rd-5th Grades
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.
6th-8th Grades
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.
