Our Girls on the Run program runs twice a year.
We start the fall in September and the spring session starts in March. It is an after school program that runs from 3:30 until 4:30pm with parent pick up. The program runs over a ten week period. The program includes a curriculum that encourages positive emotional, social, mental, and physical development. We focus on empowering our girls to be leaders and developing a sense of confidence.
Physical activity is woven into our program to inspire an appreciation of fitness and to build habits that lead to a lifetime of health. At the end of each three month session, the girls participate in a Girls on the Run 5K event. This celebratory, non-competitive event is the culminating experience of the curriculum. Completing the 5K gives the girls a tangible understanding of the confidence that comes through accomplishment as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. Crossing the finish line is a defining moment when the girls realize that even the seemingly impossible IS possible.
