Girls on the Run
Girls on the Run is an after-school program that uses the power of running to prepare 3rd – 5th-grade girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. The group meets twice a week, and there are fall and spring seasons. After weeks of practice, the girls, their coaches and supporters run a 5K.
