Girls on the Run

Welcome to Girls on the Run of the Tri-Cities-- a life-changing,

non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd through 5th grade.

Our mission is “to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.”

Girls on the Run combines training for a 5k (3.1 miles) running event with healthy living education. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games, and discussing important issues, participants in the 10-week program learn how to celebrate their unique and real selves. Our program instills self-esteem through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training—all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community. The program utilizes a whole-person approach to elevate emotional, social, mental and physical health.

Girls on the Run of the Tri-Cities is an Affiliate/Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of 160 locations across the United States and Canada.
