Girls on the Run is an after school program for girls in 3rd – 5th grade that uses the power of running to help prepare girls 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 10-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, happy and self-confident young women. Each session is led by trained 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 run in a 5K (3.1 mile) event with all of the other Girls on the Run participants from across the St. Louis region.

Our goal is to EMPOWER all girls to…  Have a strong sense of identity  Give and receive support from a group  Stand up for themselves in a healthy manner  Have a healthy body image  Understand their importance in the community  Complete a 5K event
