Girls on the Run & STRIDE
Girls on the Run and STRIDE is an innovative health education and wellness program combining the power of running with life-changing self esteem and character-enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle in young boys and girls.
Thank you to our Title Sponsor, EmergeOrtho for over 15 years of support for this race and these programs! Over 40% of our Girls on the Run & STRIDE participants utilize financial assistance and we couldn't support those families without the help of our sponsors.
