Girls on the Run is a social-emotional program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that creatively uses a fun curriculum and inclusive physical activities to teach critical life skills, such as developing healthy friendships, managing emotions, standing up for yourself and others, and how to set goals and make intentional decisions.
Trained coaches lead small groups of girls through discussions and fun games and workouts to promote empowerment and healthy lifestyle choices, all while training them to run/walk a 5K (3.1 miles).

Special Needs
Our coaches have received some training on how to support students with special needs and different abilities. The team who wrote the curriculum worked with the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability, to create adaptations so girls of all abilities are able to participate in and enjoy Girls on the Run programs.
