BIO Girls - Fergus Falls, MN - Running

08/14/2026

Our Fergus Falls - Cross Training BIO Girls program still has some spots available this fall! Join them for a great season!!

BIO Girls programs use goal-setting activity to teach participants accountability, the importance of celebrating personal progress, and encouraging others! Each season there is a finale where participants get to showcase the hard work they have put into their season. No prior experience is needed to partake in the activity. BIO Girls is an inclusive program, celebrating and welcoming all abilities!

In our case, we'll be using cross-training as our goal-setting activity! We will train for 12 weeks to complete a finale event!

A role model. A cheerleader. A listening ear. A BIO Girls mentor. 🥹

"I can't think of anything greater for our daughter than having strong female role models that encourage her, talk about mental health, think through everyday struggles, and teach her ways to live life to the fullest, even when it's hard!" -BIO Girls Caregiver

"Relationship with mentor" continues to be the highest rated component of a BIO Girls program. It matters not only to the girls but the mentors themselves who frequently tell us how they wish they had a program like this when they were younger.

We have opportunities this fall to become a change-maker in a young girl's life. We'd love to welcome you onboard.

Share this if you want to see BIO Girls in Fergus Falls 2027! 💗

Did you know.... Fergus Falls has had a BIO Girls running program in our community for 13 years?! That's over 500 girls impacted by the program as they go through a critical time in adolescence. A time when they start questioning their belonging and the world starts telling them who they need to be. Programs like BIO Girls, provide opportunities for girls to learn tools to build their confidence, self-worth, and resilience.

Now, the Fergus Falls is looking for the next person to carry this movement forward as our local Site Director for the spring running program.

And you won't do it alone. BIO Girls has the people and processes to walk you through every step, including answering alllll your questions, before you ever lead a session.

Let's make sure girls in Fergus Falls keep having this program type as a resource.

Maybe that next leader is you. Maybe it's someone you know. Reach out in the next few weeks to make sure the momentum continues.

This season was filled with growth, confidence, friendships, and countless moments that reminded us why this program matters so much. None of it would be possible without the incredible support of our community.

Thank you to Fergus Falls Public Schools for providing a wonderful home for our program at Kennedy Secondary School and to our many sponsors for their generosity and belief in our mission.

To our families, friends, Mentors, Site Leader, and other supporters near and far—thank you for encouraging these girls, cheering them on, and helping create a place where they can grow and thrive.

We are so proud of every girl who showed up, supported one another, and discovered just how strong she is.
