At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.
Everyone (male, female, young and old) is welcome at the Girls on the Run 5k on May 4, 2019! Runners at all skill levels will enjoy this event as they run alongside participants of the Girls on the Run program in their end of season 5k. This event is family friendly, with games, face painting, hair color, and more offered at our pre-race celebrations starting at 8:30 a.m. Further details on parking and packet-pick up can be found on our website at www.gotrswmo.org.
