Girls on the Run is a proven, transformational physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grades. Across Athens, Atlanta and North Georgia, we teach social-emotional skills through a research-based curriculum that incorporates dynamic interactive lessons and running games.

The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event together.
