What is Girls on the Run?
Girls on the Run of St. Louis is a non-profit program for girls in grades 3 through 8. The program encourages pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. It combines training for a 5K (3.1 miles) race with self-esteem building and life-skills exercises to enhance not only physical health, but also social, mental, and emotional well-being. Social responsibility is also addressed through community service.
