Join us to celebrate our Girls on the Run program!
Our 5K event is unlike any other, as it is a non-competitive celebration of the girls' achievements ⭐️ Girls on the Run promotes healthy habits and lifelong confidence. Crossing the finish line instills confidence through completion and is a joyful moment program participants always remember!

Everyone in our program receives a commemorative medal to celebrate this incredible achievement.
