Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program for 3rd-8th grade girls. Over the course of ten weeks, girls meet in small teams led by trained volunteer coaches to move their bodies and participate in games that teach life skills while training for a 5K. Each season concludes with a celebratory 5K event, empowering girls with a tangible sense of achievement and providing a framework for setting and achieving life goals. What started as a small start-up serving 24 girls in 2012 has spread quickly throughout the Hudson Valley, reaching more than 2,000 girls yearly.

During the ten-week program, girls participate in fun, interactive lessons that foster confidence, build peer connections and encourage community service while they prepare for an end-of-season celebratory 5K event.
