Girls On The Run & STRIDE
2025 SPRING 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.
NEXT Season is our Spring Season, registration opens January 15th, or as teams are confirmed, space is limited.
School Teams forming now! (Talk to your teachers at your school if you are interested in starting a team.)
