Registration Open for Girls on the Run in Moorestown

Girls on the Run NJ East is registering girls for its upcoming fall season, which runs from mid-September through mid-November and includes a site in Moorestown.

Girls on the Run is a physically-based youth development program that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.

Trained volunteer coaches meet with the girls twice per week for 10 weeks at school and park sites where they teach skills that will boost girls in the ways they need it most as they enter their adolescent years. Topics include dealing with gossip/bullying/social media, teamwork, healthy relationships, nutrition, and community service.

Running activities reinforce lesson objectives, helping girls train for the end of season 5K run.

Currently celebrating 15 years of serving girls in New Jersey, Girls on the Run New Jersey East has grown to include sites in Mercer, Burlington, Essex, Morris, and Union Counties.

The program fee is $195, and scholarships are available.

Sponsors and donors are needed to enable Girls on the Run to serve more girls in areas where scholarship needs tend to be high. This initiative is called Every Girl Can Run!
