Girls on the Run councils serve girls in their local communities under the umbrella of our parent organization, Girls on the Run International. Our 20-lesson curriculum over a ten week period is designed for 3rd – 8th grade girls and combines training for a 5k run with lessons that inspire them to recognize and honor their individual strengths and talents and to celebrate their inner selves. The curriculum is designed to aid and support girls in their emotional, physical, social and intellectual development.
We promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual development in 3rd through 8th grade girls. The girls complete the program with a stronger sense of identity, greater self-confidence, a healthier body image and a better knowledge of what it means to be a member of a team and a community. Each of the sessions adheres to a formal structure that combines physical activities with experiential learning activities.
