Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for 3rd - 5th grade girls. The after-school program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. During the 12-week program, 24 sessions are held by volunteer female coaches that guide and mentor girls through a fun uplifting curriculum focusing on issues such as body image and the media, resisting peer pressure, making healthy decisions, and contributing to the community.

Generation Morgantown is collecting snacks for Girls on the Run at this month’s first Friday. Healthy snacks are provided at the end of each training session.
