Girls on the Run is an experiential learning, non-profit prevention program for girls in grades 3-5. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The 10-week program follows a national curriculum focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health with training for a 3.1 mile (5K) event.

Participants learn how to make healthy decisions, resolve conflict, and get along in a group. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Girls on the Run of NJ East is an Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of more than 150 Girls on the Run councils across the United States and Canada.
