2026 Fall Girls on the Run and STRIDE Programs
Girls on the Run and STRIDE are life-changing, interactive learning programs that use the power of running to inspire pre-teen girls and boys for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy lifestyles. Through activities such as running, playing games, and discussing important issues the program encourages positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development. Coaches will guide and mentor teens through a fun and uplifting curriculum while participants train together to walk or run a 5K event.
