Girls on the Run is an international after school program for girls ages 8-13 that uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of confidence and fitness. Twice per year, during a 12-week program, the girls participate in activities that motivate and inspire them to be strong, happy and healthy young women.

Each semester culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally ready to complete a celebratory 5K race, in which the public is welcome to participate.
