Girls on the Run Grades 3-5
Girls on the Run is an after-school program for 3rd-5th grade girls that uses the power of running to help prepare them for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
Through interactive activities such as running, playing games and discussing important issues, participants learn how to celebrate being girls. The program focuses on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health.
During the 12-week program, girls are empowered with a greater self-awareness, a sense of achievement and a foundation in team building to help them become strong, contented and self-confident young women.
Each session is led by trained female coaches that guide and mentor girls through a fun and uplifting curriculum. Coaches teach specific life lessons such as dealing with body image and the media, resisting peer pressure, making healthy decisions and contributing to the community.
Along the way, the girls train together to walk or run in a 5K (3.1 mile) event.
