Information
  • What it is:

    Girls on the Run inspires girls of all abilities to recognize their individual strengths, while building a sense of connection in a team setting. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development to enable girls to adapt to whatever comes their way. At the end of the season, the team completes a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.

  • Our Heart & Sole middle school program meets the unique needs of girls of all abilities in 6th-8th grade. The program considers the whole person – body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Heart & Sole offers an inclusive place of belonging, where girls feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health. At the end of the season, all program participants complete a 5K.

 

  • Girls on the Run was founded in 1996 with 13 participants and has now served over 2 million from coast to coast.
  • Each season, program participants in 3rd-8th grade develop essential emotional, social and physical skills to successfully navigate life experiences.

  • Our programs, Girls on the Run and Heart & Sole, end each season with a celebratory 5K event.
  • Girls on the Run hosts hundreds of 5Ks per year across the United States and Canada, making it one of the largest 5K series in the world.
  • The National Afterschool Association (NAA) recognized Girls on the Run as one of the most influential after-school programs in health and wellness.
