Girls on the Run Bluff Country

                 We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun,
             experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age eight to thirteen
years old.   The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

The objective of Girls on the Run is to educate and empower girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future. At-risk activities include substance/alcohol use, eating disorders, early onset of sexual activity, sedentary lifestyle, depression, suicide attempts and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.

Girls on the Run® offers two age appropriate programs. Girls on the Run is open to girls in grades 3-5 and Girls on Track is designed for girls in grades 6-8. The psychological research and principal philosophy behind both programs is the same, yet the depth of processing varies in order to be age appropriate. The Girls on Track middle school curriculum allows for more mature processing around certain topics including eating disorders, internet safety, cyber bullying and tobacco and alcohol use.

                   We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her
                 limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.
