Girls on the Run & Girls on Track
Girls on the Run is the name of our organization, but we have two programs:
- Girls on the Run — for 3rd-5th graders
- Girls on Track — for 6th-8th graders
The Girls on the Run Program:
- is an experiential learning program for 3rd-5th grade girls;
- has an innovative curriculum designed exclusively for pre-teen girls;
- includes running workouts and games that teach important skills such as how to make healthy decisions and resolve conflicts;
- prepares the girls for a 5K run/walk event;
- challenges and encourages each girl, whatever her fitness level; and
- provides positive peer group experiences and role models for healthy living
The Girls on Track Program:
- uses the Girls on the Run model, but focuses on issues of importance to 6th-8th grade girls;
- provides all the elements of Girls on the Run and addresses the middle school experience;
- includes lessons on healthy relationships, avoidance of tobacco and alcohol, eating disorders and personal safety; and
- supports the girls in their transition into the teenage years.
