The Girls on the Run curriculum is based on experiential learning activities designed to teach participants about topics related to self-respect and healthy living.

  • Each meeting begins with a getting-on-board and warm up activity that brings the girl's focus onto the day's topic.
  • The warm-up is followed by a stretching routine that allows for topic-related question and answer time.
  • Then, during the workout period, the girls participate in a variety of running activities that are camouflaged in a game or team goal.
  • Afterwards, cool-down stretching is then combined with participant asked and answered questions.
  • Each session closes with a snack and positive words form the girl's coach regarding individual and group behaviors.
 
The three-part curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches:
  • Part 1: Understanding Yourself And Setting Personal Goals.
  • Part 2: Learning Skills To Get Along In A Group.
  • Part 3: Examining Their Responsibility To The Community.

Girls on the Run sessions are held over a 12 week period in the Fall and Spring. The program meets two days a week for one hour after school, with a maximum of 14 participants.

All girls ages 8-12 are encouraged to join the program regardless of previous running experience and level of physical fitness.
